Please note that the majority of OSS efforts where already non monetized and deeply exploited. At least, what it is happening has the potential to change the model towards a more correct one. What you see with Tailwind and similar cases, it is not really an open source business model issue, it is a "low barrier to entry" business model issue, since with AI a lot of things can be done without efforts and without purchasing PRO products. And also documentation is less useful, but this is a general thing, not just related to OSS software. In general people that write OSS are, for the most part, not helped enough by the companies using their code to make money, by users, buy everybody else, basically. | ||

Very true, most of open-source is group 1 and are deeply exploited already. What open-source monetization model do you see as a correct one? | ||
