No, the community does it to get to use the software for free. That's enough. The right to make a competing company that just uses the software is not in the minds of most community members.
I'm convinced the other people who care about this freedom don't contribute to anything.
- thedevilslawyer 2y ago> That's enough It's opt-in. No one forces a project to pick open source. They don't get to decide what's enough. You clearly want open source to mean something other that what it by default means. A better place to put your efforts would be like folks over at fair.io, perhaps. It's not faring well IMO, but it's an honest take in the "no competing company" direction.
