    get rid of companies making money off the FOSS

    I’m afraid if we discourage companies from adopting open source we’ll end up with even more closed source garbage.

    There are industry sectors where closed source is the norm, and it just leads to more vendor lock-in and less standardization and interop.

    I’m a bit young to say for sure, but I believe closed source was the norm in the software world 20-30 years ago and openness was stigmatized. I certainly don’t want to live in that world.
