The Open Innovation model described in the book by Henry Chesbrough was super charged by Open Source. I think moving out of the open source model is a mistake that would make things move slow for the ones not playing it. Nowadays, when I think in software that I have to build with and have no access to source, all I am reminded is the bureaucracy of dealing with licenses where a much preferable approach is to have payments for support disconnected from this. If this is really some way things will go, I wonder if someone will make standardized drm for software libraries. Honestly, I hope I don’t have to develop with these things.
