Thanks for sharing!

It’s not the most well-written article, but it does convey what Perens is concerned about - particularly the fundamental flaws we are all accustomed to - usability issues of OSS from a UX perspective and lack of time/interest to improve, the flaws that lead to closed source conversions and clauses. We really do need a new path forward. Even what’s proposed feels akin to the sponsorship model, that I wonder is just a dream more than reality.

Maybe we do need some sort of regulation in the software market to truly incentivize or keep the FLOSS wheel going…
