I think a lot of people have reaped the benefits of open source software. And corporations are formed of people.

It is a check and balance on proprietary software, in quality, cost, privacy and independence.

It has benefitted developers directly, in education, in transferrence of skills to other employers, and in direct customization of software for their personal needs.

So was the Nazi party.

The problem is with the distribution of benefits. Much like the vaulted Lebensraum the question is who gets the land and who gets to be fertilizer for the land.

So far the answer to the first is Bezos, and to the second is everyone who isn't Bezos. A distribution that leaves something to be desired of.

Utter nonsense. There are many people getting great benefit from Amazon other than bezos. Including many of people employed there and the many investors that have reaped benefit from the stock increase.
