I don't think libre or open source is broken. I think some projects are broken. I think other projects are those people simply don't like, don't want to fund, and have to use because there are no other options. With some creativity and planning, open source projects can be self-sustaining, but they have about the same success rate as any other startup. The upside is that all progress doesn't evaporate when an open source project fails, it gets forked or consultants can transition people to new tools.
