I really appreciate how Bruce is approaching the reality of how the idea of open source played out against how technology has found itself used in the real world. I'm optimistic for a future where open source is less of a religion or a marketing angle [1], and more beneficial for those who share their knowledge for the world to use and receive fair compensation.

Given the AI copyright debate also currently on the front page, I’m a bit less optimistic. We might end up with a lot of software not using open source directly, but having AI rewrite a roughly similar version just different enough to barely not count as plagiarism.

If anything it would appear that compensation for sharing software, and knowledge, is threatened by those in ai whose only way to monetise is leveraging free labor. One way to prevent that is to make such property more scarce. People are already pulling the plug on sharing knowledge due to it.
