Might be a far fetched, but this might play together with the Commons Clause discussion. Nobody wants to do all the work without being compensated, while others make profits with the work.
I hope the transfer of projects to foundations and other open forums continues, and they are backed by industry leaders making the profits.
It should even go as far as finally paying solo-developers through some fairly devided pool of funds. Everybody wins when libraries are free, openly developed, production ready _and_ financially backed for LTS.
