All projects are encumbered by business decisions. I think open source improves on this problem because now I can fork and extend because a company open sourced something. This is not perfect, but it’s better than when I can’t. I think a better approach is trying to encourage more of a gift economy with people working on stuff for free and sharing it. It’s funny how I’m willing to accept some hair and do work myself as part of a community, but if I have to pay for it, I lose that community motivation. For example, I’m willing to spend time writing up an issue for an OSS project with a test script, etc. but I won’t do that for a commercial company.
