I don't see how this position means FOSS would fail as a business model. It's not like anyone would be saying "we won't ever provide these guarantees." It's instead "if you just want to use my software without paying, go for it. But if you want any supply chain guarantees, then pay me for them."
- shadowgovt 4y agoAgreed; "as a business model" was a bad phrasing. I meant to say "as an alternative to the traditional closed-source business model." If the FOSS ecosystem can't be safely built upon, companies have to build their own. If they have to build their own, they'll want to own it.
