@oh8hub @hb9hox I understand your point of view. I spun off a company from the University: it sells services (not products) based on free/open-source software: an alternative business model (still going). Maintenance: free/open-source software can be in the hands of a community and often is. Open-source innovation has the potential for a larger uptake, community and business building. If you do not use closed-source software and licences, VARA is effectively an encrypted mode.
