>FOSS barely existed in 2005 compared to what it is today.

On the contrary: it barely exists today.

FOSS in (roughly speaking) 2005 and before was about a larger vision and a community. Not about mere access to code with specific licenses, or how many trillion dollar companies are depending on it.

>Communities rarely stay the same as they grow larger, but that doesn't mean they are worse. .

I'm not speaking about how communities in change in abstract (in which case doesn't mean necessarily for the worse). I'm speaking about what specific FOSS communities have had happened to them, and which I, and others, do find worse.
