We won. Now what?
summary
Open source wins mainstream adoption over the last decade — corporate converts (Microsoft embraces Linux since 2015), desktops shift to Chrome OS as the "year of Linux", and platforms monetize permissive code, forcing reactions like MongoDB relicensing and the rise of restrictive proposals such as the Hippocratic license. New problems surface: data misuse more dangerous than closed code, AI and facial‑recognition systems show demographic bias, contributor shortages and poor diversity persist, and corporate support is uneven so the movement must refocus beyond code to data, people, and governance.
