Not really. The problem with FOSS licensing is that it was too altruistic, with the belief that if enough users and corporations depended on the code, the community would collectively do the work necessary to maintain the project. Instead, capitalism chose to exploit FOSS as free labor most of the time, without any reciprocal investment. They raise an enormous amount of issues, and consume a large amount of FOSS developer time, without paying their own staff to fix the bugs they need resolved. Sure, FOSS devs could just ignore external inputs, but that’s not easy to do when you’ve invested years of your life in a project.

And sure, FOSS licenses legally permit that kind of use, but just because homeless shelters allow anyone to eat their food, and sleep in their beds, that doesn’t make the rich man who exploits that charity ethically or morally justified. The rich man who exploits charity (i.e. free labor), and offers nothing in return, is a scummy dog cunt; there are no two ways about it.

FOSS should always be free for all personal, free, and non profit use, but once someone in the chain starts depending on FOSS to generate profit, some of that profit should always be reinvested in those dependencies. That’s what FOSS is now learning; to reject the exploitation of greed.
