Tech companies have been extracting cash via crowd sourcing and open-source is no longer an exception.
A lot corporate software is sitting on top of open source and they are monetizing it and talk it down at the same time. And in some cases they have been able to take open source or ex free licensed software private too if they can muscle the take over by injecting cash incentives into hands of those who have inhered the means to change the rules via new versions.
How did Oracle get to take over java? I think that Microsoft is in the game too by purchasing Github.
They are billions of dollars in free code that they can take over.
So IBM owns Redhat and Redhat is taking over whatever it can muscleiin their space.
