Perhaps people should worry less and contribute more, to prevent such concerns from becoming problems in the first place. If your company is making use of Linux, GCC, OpenSSL and so forth, they should be setting aside some engineering resources to contribute to those projects, especially if they aren't paying a corporate vendor like RH, SUSE, or Canonical to do it on their behalf. Naturally, the "tragedy of the commons" is that everyone wants to take advantage of free software while contributing back as little as possible, usually while simultaneously complaining or handwringing about those that are actually contributing. Why is it that this conversation has turned from Apple and Google, with a combined market cap over 4 trillion dollars pulling their resources from these foundational projects, to handwringing that Red Hat, with a 125x smaller valuation might pull their resources from GNU, something there is no indication of happening? Surely the focus ought to be in the other direction...
