Corporations in open-source free-code commune could help sustain coders
In the beginning, there was open source. Then, various foundations and for-profit businesses evolved from the primordial goo of freely contributed code. Will these powers feed the meritocratic ecosystem that birthed them — or feed upon it?

Deep-pocketed corporations might try to oligarchise open-source communities for their own gain and inhibit innovation that does not fatten their own bottom lines, Corbett Moran explained.
