Well, my own personal response is that "FOSS fundamentalist" are as opposite free people that do not want actual society model but another and "people who describe them as fundamentalist" are simply people that can't think a different society or anything as society scale instead of their own company scale.

It's not an offense but a simple reasoned scheme: did you know that at the start of IT golden age software was open? In the USA, not in the URSS. Did you know that in the golden age of USA "rich people" arrive even at 90% of income taxes and they are still happy?

I do not talk about centuries in the past or restricted communities.

My own personal truth is that you are right many in a FOSS world will be dead. Simply because they do not really produce anything sensible. FOSS world work on innovation, without innovation business die. Today we have near-zero innovation because we can't have anything really new in a managerial-drive world. But again this is a system that work well in the short term, crash miserably in the medium/long term.
