Well, see the AV1 codec? They made it because they were sick of patents and license costs for H.265, preferring to fund the development of a completely new one, primarily to avoid the fees. Or see RedHat and their Linux development/support. They don't rent-seek via copyright. And no proprietary programming language has a large user base. The closest is probably Microsoft Excel, I'd guess. |

MATLAB still has a large user base, although GNU Octave is basically an open source version.
The Wolfram (Mathematica) language also has a large user base. I am not aware of an open source implementation.
Swift is open source but developed by Apple and mainly used on their systems.
