@os_sci @strypey @element the only reason it's difficult to sustain some larger #libre projects (e.g. Copyleft) is because the market is stupid and continues to pay a mint to be monopolised by proprietary software vendors. Libre software would be quite sustainable *if the market rejected proprietary software*... or if regulators did. As a proxy for this, gov'ts could regulate to require open standards compliance for all software purchased by gov't. I wrote this about it: https://openstandards.nz
