Companies rarely, if ever, actively prevent features from going into Open Source projects they are working on when they already have a proprietary solution. What happens is they “don’t have that problem” so they do nothing to resolve it, which effectively prevents the fix.

I mean, there’s an example in every project of a certain size. Node.js blocked LTTNG tracing for Linux because... we already had DTrace and Joyent had a way to use that to trace their Linux VMs. One of the first features io.js shipped with was LTTNG support :)

The solution wasn’t to convince Joyent that LTTNG support was worth their time to review, it was to move to a participatory governance structure where people were empowered to resolve the issues they care about.
