I don't think there's any other sustainable format to make software that becomes load-bearing infrastructure. Open source is the only player existing.
What isn't sustainable is just the model where some random person takes a huge part of the responsibility for himself without any structure around it. We need different organizations.

I think that, if necessary, either of those could be a viable replacement for open source being the infrastructure for tech. Obviously each comes with its own pros and cons compared to open source, but they still ought to be viable.
