I suspect there's so much churn in FOSS, because developers love rewrites and starting from scratch. In the world of commercial software, written by companies, the bosses/owners reign them in. FOSS, on the other hand, does not have bosses or owners...
- goodpoint 5y agoNo, most churn comes from company-driven FOSS, especially around devops stuff. Among other reasons, they use churn as a way to control the userbase and prevent successful fork. > FOSS, on the other hand, does not have bosses or owners... Corporate-driven OSS has plenty.
