That time will never come. Do you think that Google will pay all 100 core developers who actually built the language retroactively?
No, it's a power grab, because full time developers plowing through the code base and working on minor issues crowd out the actual IP creators and make them leave.
Expect a dull, boring corporate controlled maintenance age where one or two people do mundane work and directors of various foundations and groups take the credit.
- varispeed 6y ago> Do you think that Google will pay all 100 core developers who actually built the language retroactively? That would be an ideal scenario to be honest. If company wants to use the work, they should pay for it and for all time that lead to it or developers should be required by law to change licenses so that companies would have to pay either a subscription or a fixed fee for the software version. That divide between boring development and rock star seeding indeed exists and typically people working on IP have their own companies and contract out their work. They create a PoC and then company employees make it into a product. That used to work well in the UK, but law has changed to be more akin to the US rules where you can't provide IT services as a small company (typically one man) and you have to be an employee.
