I agree with this article, indeed when one company has the full control over a piece of software, it’s not good because either they abandon it or they use it to shape the market for their need.

Linux is one project but their is a lots of companies that work together, increasing the need of discussions and compromises.

If you were cloudflare how hard would it be to patch javascript libraries in transit across your network? Would the cryptographic hashes the end user does on the library before running catch any modifications?

But if something is open source, does that count as “abandoned”?
