I'm going to get downvoted to hell but Open Source is broken. The initial egalitarian view of OSS never came to fruition. OSS is just companies like Google and Facebook throwing things on the other side of the fence to help their own business monopolies. There aren't actually ANY OSS models where independent developers can make money to support their own code. It's all support and services for some of the intermediate companies or you have to be FANG. We need "free as in $19.95" for OSS where the code is open but licensing/payments are compelled. A way to look at it is "less freedom is more freedom". For example, if we had infinite freedom and no laws the world wouldn't work. So we compromise and accept the right amount of laws. I think it's the same thing with OSS ... we could all public domain our code but most people don't because putting your code under a license has value. It's LESS free than public domain but more free because you're giving a license to the user but they can't sue you because they're no implied warranty. If we had an a source code license that forced someone like Amazon to license the code we wouldn't be in this position.
