So so true. Imagine a plumber turning up at your house and fitting you a new bathroom as their open source project. But then again, if they charged a extortionate ‘support’ fee for years thereafter for doing nothing then that wouldn’t be as crazy. A bit like Red Hat in that sense.

That’s a very strange metaphor. How about giving plans away for a bathroom. Last I heard, integrating your app for you and doing it in house wasn’t part of putting a repo on GitHub
Plumbers don’t give their bathroom plans away last time I checked. Neither to architects.
