Sure but the real problem are the companies that consume, not just the developers. A lot of developers would love to contribute back, but companies put schedule pressures and have limited interest in contributing back.

Companies actually want a kind of vendor relationship, but they don’t want to pay any money.

Devs want something dev focused, and open source is usually code for being dev focused.

I don’t think either truly wants actual “open source”

I think the point is not about us being developers or employees, but about us being a civilian.
