The problem I'm seeing with open source projects lately, is that they are essentially ran by companies who claim to support open source but yet almost every decision they make counters that. They are happy to have people work on their projects for free, but then you end up having to assign your work to them and they turn around and change their licensing or contributions later on where you no longer even own the open source efforts you put into the software. To them open source is just another business opportunity, but when it comes to values they could care less.
