Open source needs a better license. Big corporations just take and take and rarely ever give anything back, it's not sustainable.

    The point of Open-Source is to allow that. This is what differentiates Open-Source from Free Software and why people invented the term and founded the organisation behind it.

    The Free Software side of things did improve on licensing with the AGPL.

    Copyright probably won’t fix it, especially now that you can Malus yourself a bespoke fork.

    The core problem is that they’re too big to care. They don’t have to listen to customers, employees, or competitors. We need antitrust action and union organizing.

    The point of open source is that the user can use it for whatever they want, any restriction would eliminate this.
