I don’t get why big companys are afraid of open source software.

I know that monetizing open source is hard but in exchange they would have 8 billion programmers ready, for free!

Even if they do like redhat , as controversial as it is right now, they would be better off than just closing the source.

I would be willing to pay to have the license to modify my own software even if I couldn’t redistribute it afterwards.

    Anybody who is afraid of showing proof (which making the code open source does) should be given a wide berth

    They were depending on you not knowing, and that is never good for you

      This would be a valid generalized assessment if proof or not was the only concern when open sourcing. But it’s not.
