Companies can make plenty of money.

What they can't - without giving the middle finger to OSS - is satisfy greed.

If you want to satisfy greed, fine, but be like Oracle. Sell a commercial license upfront. Don't pretend to be OSS.

Well I’m not sure if it’s just greed at the level at Amazon, Microsoft etc packaging your work and take all the support money from their vast influence.
