This is silly. Open source doesn't require getting paid. In fact, that people have figured out how to make open source turn them into billionaires is a problem.

This is silly. Open source doesn't require getting paid. In fact, that people have figured out how to make open source turn them into billionaires is a problem. And a good sign that the market is broken. Get those people out of open source. Linux, Kubernetes, Apache, Python, and more are doing just fine. Companies should find ways to build things together rather than trying to abuse open source to pay off VCs who are the real takers in the software industry.
