Yeah, not enough people care about open source right now. Maybe after this incident more will!

In any case you're right, if you try doing open source purely as a marketing tactic it may or may not work out. I think one good reason to do open source is because you believe it's more sustainable, or transparent, or just being decent to your customers.
