The way large vested corporate interests managed to control open source and extract value for themselves from our work was one of the things has disappointed me the most in my professional life, not because I wanted to capture that value, but because I wanted to release it into the world, not into the hands of IBM shareholders.
I feel the same. Even most non-profits are essentially corrupt. ASF and The Linux Foundation are the only examples I know of where greed and power did not assert control of the technology. That is one of the main reasons I am writing this, along with me being upset hearing Musk use something I once deeply believed in, to justify inequality.
