@gianmarcogg03@mastodon.uno Another point I'd like to address is that I don't think free software is not making enough money.

I think in general there is enough money to develop free software. I do feel some projects are a little underfunded compared to others, but this will always happen in a market economy.

The real problem is that big tech makes too much money. Your Googles, Amazons and Apples are outshining the competition.

This is not because "open source has failed", this because they are abusing the system, creating monopolies and fucking over everyone.

Louis, as an experienced lobbyist, should know that you do not solve this mess by adding non-commercial restrictions to your software license.

This mess can only be solved by governmental reforms, such as abolishing software patents, reforming copyright law, bringing back real antitrust laws, and many more things like that.

Set up the system in such a way so that the only profitable thing to do is be good towards your users!
