I've heard repeatedly that most of the complaints about the current state of OSS are coming from VCs looking to profit, or people somehow bought off by those VCs. While that's certainly the case with *some* of the complaints, I'd urge people repeating that to listen harder.

*None* of the people I've seen raising this complaint are VCs. Most of us have been part of the FLOSS community for years. And we've been talking quietly about the inadequacy of FLOSS licenses for years.

The ethics complaint isn't raised by VCs, but the "commercial open source" "I can't get VC-level returns on FOSS because AWS" complaint does exist. The problem is people who somehow think that's the *only* complaint, or that anyone raising other complaints is just a front.

(I specifically have been trying to RT Kat and others lately because I think at least some well-intentioned people from the first wave of FOSS don't know/follow anyone from what Kat is calling a third wave, which contributes to the "but I haven't heard X" problem.)
