@gabek @tgpo This is also to say that virtually no FOSS project, except those commissioned and funded from the start, set out to dominate, to capture millions of users, or to "win" against a commercial adversary. It's absurd to think that anyone honestly set their sights on "winning" over Alphabet, X, or Meta. Linus Torvalds didn't want to "beat" Microsoft; he wanted to play with Minix on his x86 machine. Linux, according to the original usenet posts, was never supposed to be a big deal. 7/?
