THE THREAT TO OPEN SOURCE COMES FROM WITHIN

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The open-source software community is facing threats from both external and internal sources. While the recent attack on the XZ library by a state-sponsored actor shows the community is still strong, internal conflicts arising from licensing disagreements and accusations of code theft are a more serious threat. These conflicts are due to competing interests between cloud companies who seek to profit from OSS and OSS companies seeking sustainable business models.
