Well put. It's a hard pill to swallow in the VC/startup area, but Open Source software owes you nothing. If Open Source software makes you money, it's your job to ensure that it stays a stable part of your supply chain. Nobody else is going to do it for you. Open Source maintainers aren't going to let down some hidden drawbridge and invite you onboard the gravy train. It's just code, managing to create a successful project sans-monetization is a challenge in itself. I'll even go a step further; if your attention is only piqued by projects with revenue-sharing schemes, you'll be ignoring the most interesting projects on the market today.
