Open source has been good, but I think the expanded use of highly permissive licences has completely left the door open for one sided transactions.
All the FAANGs have the ability to build all the open source tools they consume internally. Why give it to them for free and not have the expectation that they'll contribute something back?
The promise and freedom of open source has been exploited by the least egalitarian and most capitalist forces on the planet.

How dare you chastise someone for making the personal decision not to produce free work anymore? Who do you think you are?
