If you’d ask me, open source has never been stronger than it is today. I don’t really care about the ideologies, but I care about the technology and for me it doesn’t feel like Linux is drifting towards proprietary systems.
Which is kind of my point. The ideologies are more important than the open source because without it open source is not open source. It will strangle itself out.
Without the ideology there would be no open source. It’s like saying you can have churches without religion. You take the religion away, you’ll still have the building but it’s a matter of time before they’re gone.
I am speaking of both FOSS and open source. As I said earlier these environments only exist so long as business can profit from it. This is because like you said the heart of what created the environments is gone. When business has a new model, like building what open source can with AI, then it’ll die out too. There’s a reason the more business friendly one is thriving.
That’s what happens when generations ignore their roots
Open source is not a religion and doesn’t follow the same principles. Also, open source has never been free nor was it the main reason it existed. I really think you’re confusing OS with FOSS here because all of your points are valid for FOSS but not open source.
Now you’re getting semantic. Stopping conversation here as I get the impression that you’re arguing from trying to win over trivial points vs honest discussion.
I’m well aware the difference and it doesn’t change anything here.
My argument is not entirely that everything at all times should be free. Therefore for you to focus on this is not a good use of our time. Points have all been made. I don’t have much else to say. I’m done here. Have a good one

Open source is not about ideology, it’s just stating that it’s source is… well… open. Maybe you’re confusing it with FOSS?
