Everyone wants to consume it. Nobody wants to participate.
People are upset when a company like Elastic or Mongo switches to a "non open" license. But at the same time, the market doesn't leave much choice. Companies won't be incentivized to contribute to projects when they can freeload. The market actually wants vendors, it doesn't want to participate in open source. But they don't want to _pay_ for vendors.
So I think its entirely appropriate that anyone / any entity that creates "open source" to change their license, set limits, say "no", and let users be damed unless they're willing to make it financially appealing. It's literally "Without Warranty" for a reason.
Letting your passion project becoming hijacked into determining your mental health is really depressing. F' the people who can't get on board with your boundaries, etc around it. They deserve the natural consequences of their lack of support.
Yeah whatever. Closed source software is much easier to subvert, just have your agents join the company and they can push whatever they want without any external (or even internal) review.
