    It’s really sad. But it sounds like a natural consequence of doing it under capitalism. I wish for a time when everything will be open source by default

      This really is the only way if we want competition (lower prices) and choice. All actual revenues would be derived from service provision (consulting, customization, tech support, certification).

      From a “small c” capitalism perspective, it is not normal that MS, Nvidia, Apple have such insane margins. Competition should have forced them to lower prices while offering the same level of products/services.
