>No, we do not have to do this. We wouldn't get anything done, if we tried to maintain our full oss stack. Where would you start? In the linux kernel and move your way up to chromium/firefox? Have fun out there.

Seems a little disingenuous to assume that GP meant that everyone should fully maintain their own OSS stack, when their comment could be read far more reasonably as a solution for when those processes aren't serving your needs entirely.

Yeah, that is why I rephrased it, to with OSS you can own and maintain your full stack.

Op said "must".
