> Missing a reflection about how abundance of F/OSS has pushed us towards SaaS as one of the few places left to make a living from pure software dev, and the oligopolies arising out of it. The fundamental reason is the shift towards the web as a platform, not the abundance of Free Software. As for the oligopolies you mention, the process is as democratic as possible with extremely low barrier to entry: many of the current big players weren't millionaires who had to invest piles of money into factories and wait for decades for their dreams to materialize. > What about Linux (Android) being used as the prime spyware vector, and Linux being used for cloud lock-in (k8s et al)? I don't believe RMS would object to that, he is not a Linux fanboy and concentrates on Free Software instead.
