Or that open source isn’t always a good idea, at least from the point of view of certain parties.

Exactly, when will Silicon valley investors understand that Open Source:

1. Doesn't grow revenue at the speeds they want returns 2. Isn't "free marketing" (dear God I have seen this one too many times, CTOs even write it out in blogs sometimes) 3. Only really makes sense when you get out more than you put in, aka is community drive . Community driven open source is really the only profitable open source.
