  • Maybe not “extinguish”, but opensource - even GPLv3-d - is not immune to commercial exploitation, even abuse. Companies like Google/Alphabet, Ubuntu/Canonical and RedHat have decades of experience here.

    Personally I would grade these use cases in the exact order I listed them, worst to OK. But there are many others.

    I really like everything about how linux related things work; how application repositories are full of nice things that fellow users have made because they wanted to and not necessarily to make money out of them. And the general wibe of being made for community by the community. And I want it to stay that way.

    I totally agree, and while that world also still exists, we have moved past that quite a while ago. But there are lots of smaller developers who want to make money with what they’re doing. Done right, I don’t see anything wrong with it, but it often is not done right.
