Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint
hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 days agoYep, you sure are. You also can’t stop someone from forking it and giving it away for free. See: Red Hat Enterprise Linux and AlmaLinux.
Money in open source is one of the biggest hurdles to it becoming the norm. IMHO, governments should fund more open source projects and fund them at higher levels. We have art grants because art improves society, and we should have an equal or higher amount of open source grants because open source improves society too.

people keep voting for the people trying to break everything and get shocked when it breaks.
