Thanka for your input, that’s a great point! I agree with your opinion regarding FOSS as not just individual projects of small groups, but done at a broader, public scale. This way visibility is even broader, contributions more regular and with the whole of society in mind. At the same time, FOSS as it exists right now is still absolutely better than standard proprietary software, and maintains its utility even after it’s no longer being maintained by the main group due to its open and transparent nature.

Great points!
