I like how Elastic is making this work. Open source is no longer built/supported primarily by individuals (with a few notable exceptions). Most is done by large companies with monopolies, since they are the ones that can afford it. React is a good example. Linux/RedHat another. And it makes it easy to rely on them - you know React will be maintained. You know ELK stack will be around 5 years from now. You need a large margin to be able to give back to the community in this way, sustainably, for a long period of time. Unfortunately the open source activism movement got political at one point, and lost its charm to a large degree. I am not going to go into the question if that was right/wrong.
