Are you new to the concept of open source?

That's rude. Yes, I've contributed to a few. However, here is a list of open-source software that've notoriously turned to unethical decisions when pressured into getting funding. Audacity: Free until 2021 when they were bought and introduced telemetry. Streamlabs: Open-source but tried to monetise and attack the OBS brand Bitwarden forks: Various forks of open-source code that included monetisation OpenOffice: Great…

moritonal, did you also just `conveniently' forget: Github? And heinous:

openAI: Microsoft has invested US$13 billion in OpenAI, and is entitled to 49% of OpenAI Global, LLC's profits, capped at an estimated 10x their investment.

Sorry, but I don't understand your comment. Github exists sure, but many open source projects have turned sour due to bad funding models. And OpenAi, isn't any of the things it says it is.

How is asking about your experience rude? Lots of people have no clue what open source is. I'm sitting next to two of them right now.

Being offended so quickly, I'm tempted to ask if you're new to the internet ))
