"Like, when somebody releases something open source," ... to get traction and own the market (and sometimes, don't know here, get free work) as a business strategy, not for the greater good.
- pas 4y agowhat's the greater good anyway? back to nomadic live off the land no money no capitalism? can a business strategy align with some version of the greater good? how much alignment is needed?
- KingOfCoders 4y agoNo alignment is needed. The referral to "Tragedy of the commons" [1] makes it sound as the primary goal of open sourcing was the common good. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons
