I do not currently have the time or inclination to address the various
points raised in the exchange/commentary, to which I am adding some
comments, in sufficient detail.

Thank you for the compliment. By all means amplify; I always reserve

I respectfully disagree with the analogy. It is true that an open
source available to rebuild (without IP logos, etc.) is far better than
closed source for reasons of software engineering (and security) upon
which I can elaborate if there is interest.
However, having any product enter wide

A little bit pontificating but here is my take: "sustainable computing"
must be "community all the way down". We must reject attempts by
flighty (or other) corporations to
This whole discussion brings to mind Eric Raymond's three essays;
later an iconic 1999 book: "The Cathedral and the Bazaar".
They discuss software development, culture and control, and business models
between open-source and closed-source models.
A decent synopsis of them can be found here:

CERN and Fermilab acknowledge the recent decision to shift focus from CentOS
Linux to CentOS Stream, and the sudden change of the end of life of the CentOS
8 release. This may entail significant consequences for the worldwide particle
physics community. We are currently investigating together
