Some OSS advocates get too caught up in "community" and feelings. At the end of the day OSS is only about the licence. It's just about code ownership. Everything else is noise.
As long as it's an OSS license it's good to go.
Also, Blender used to be a commercial, closed source project (a very long time ago). Look how it's grown.
- slimsag 5y agoAs long as the code does what you want, you don't hope to receive any advice on how to do things, you expect no help in debugging the issues you encounter, and you don't expect to collaborate with others building on top of the same platform - then yep, community and momentum doesn't matter.
- Mikeb85 5y agoThose are all independent of license considerations. For example, Unreal engine ticks all those boxes. But it's not OSS.
