Do the corporations creating products with OSS have a more positive impact on the world than when they purchased their software? If so, isn’t that beneficial to developers? Isn’t it empowering as a developer to know that your software powers businesses and markets? Why do developers contribute code in the first place?
If Indie oss developers provide say 49% of the contributions to open source project ought they expect the same representation or recompense as a project with 90% indie developer contributions?
More philosophically: After you create something, how long do you get to own or control that thing and how it is used?
How long do indie oss developers think they should be able to dictate the future of the project? Is corporate investment in open source actually welcome?
