Could you be more specific about how American corporatism is failing open source in this case? MariaDB PLC is not profitable and most investors give it low chances of getting there. It's currently trading at 25% of the IPO price which was already 40% below the initial opening. [0, 1] (I hope I'm reading the numbers correctly.)

- npteljes 4y agoI specifically wanted to say that American corporatism failing, and open source are not related, despite the article saying so. Open source is just fine, regardless of these things happening - even the MariaDB project will survive, I believe. In my eye, the ones most hurt are the employees, and the people who wanted the project to be successful, including Monty.
