If they would have been closed source from the get-go, Amazon would have had a far harder time cloning their product or even creating a service based on it to begin with. So yes, this is a consequence of them starting out open source.
- josephcsible 5y agoIf they would have been closed source from the get-go, they'd have even fewer customers than they do today with Amazon "stealing" all of them.
- Sebb767 5y agoPossibly, I didn't refute that (and I actually agree). However, the point that this fork would likely not have happened without them being open source is completely valid.
