… It’s important that this crucial part of our infrastructure be free and open source software…

the last 3 places i worked at made this imperative for all of our infrastructure to work and it’s heart breaking to see the seemingly inexhaustive lists of so many open source projects that have been developed in-house into enterprise worthy software that will never see the light of day with the public nor be incorporated back into their source projects; unless it becomes a revenue stream.

all that talent, creativity and work being thrown away in the name of profit.
