It's all good because usually open-source is an investment for bigger companies that they can recoup somewhere else.
But for small-players, it makes absolutely no sense to create a business and also make it easy for competitors to compete or even for competitors to appear.
But people probably realize that otherwise there wouldn't be so many debates.
Who funds open-source? (not talking about source-available but the most permissive Open-Source licenses)
