@Spacehuhn I think a part of the negative effects of the system on open source is that it messes up the metrics people use to gauge success. A successful open source project is perceived to need many users and a pathway to commercialization, while in a healthy open source ecosystem unmonitizable semi-bespoke niche software might be just as valuable, perhaps because there is nothing else and its handful of users really, really appreciate it, or perhaps for the educational value in its design.
