I disagree with your insinuation that OSS projects have to be happy about big tech deciding to offer their product as a managed service. I think that's ridiculous; OSS isn't an ideology, it's a type of license.

I do agree that OSS licenses do and should allow for big companies to do this, and that Matt is doing the business version of a football flop by complaining someone other than him is making money from an open source project.

The point of open source is to be useful for each other, not to collect free labor for your own projects.
