Open Source as We Know It Is Dead, Essay Argues
Original: Open Source as We Know It Is Dead
A new essay argues that open source, as traditionally understood, is effectively dead. The piece contends that the ecosystem's established norms and funding models are breaking down, with cloud providers and large companies extracting value from open source projects without giving back. The argument has sparked debate among developers about licensing, sustainability, and whether community-driven software can survive in its current form.
Why now: Ongoing concerns over cloud companies monetising open source projects without contributing back have reignited debate about sustainability and licensing in the software community.
