How do you think your freedom to “fix it and use, and share the fix” is changing? Unless you’re running a Redis hosting service isn’t it business as usual?

I don’t love the direction that the open source world has been moving in but in terms of practical impact on my work this seems to be minimal. I think the easy money during the VC bubble lead a lot of us to get used to high-quality software not having a plausible business model and we’re going to see a lot more of this, which makes me wonder if OSI could come up with some kind of hybrid license allowing maintainers to get paid but not giving up too much freedom. Otherwise it feels like we might see a move back towards closed-source development.
