Techbros and large corporations still have the original source code they built their business on. What they want is free community updates and support forever while they give almost nothing back. So it's not a licensing problem. It's not a free software problem. It's a "free as in beer" support problem.
AGPL only slightly prevents this by forcing them to share their changes to the source. And usually this is not very useful to the community, anyway. And very little effort. And the same people scream it's an evil license. They want free (as in beer) stuff forever and it's not just the source code. It's very ungrateful of them.
- nijave 2y agoThat's not been my experience. My limited experience at a large corporation was "throw money at vendors for enterprise support" The bigger issue was startups and small/medium sized companies with limited technical support and limited money to buy enterprise support or in-house experts. These are the same companies heavily leaning on managed services from vendors like AWS.
