Well, I did point out that devs have better ethics than they used to have. It's the companies in general that drive them away from that (willingly, unwillingly, or even without knowing).

Or the dev-became-CEO, too, I guess. Not all of them of course.

I just wish it would keep on being "more open" for these reasons, and it would be sad to go back to an "all proprietary, closed, etc" world.

That is a good question, seeing how I don't know how Pealk made any money at all.
