You mean Big Tech and startups? Totally liberated. Yeah. So much that now they are developing AI tools to remove developers from the equation using open source software :)
I write this from Firefox running under Debian GNU/Linux. The computer I write is on was purchased out of income I got from (from other things) creating programs in Python, using Django web framework, and deploying them alongside Nginx.
Firefox, Debian, Linux, GNU stack, Python, Django, Nginx ... all are open source (and so are hundreds or thousands of other software parts I use daily).
I, personally, have immensely benefted from open source and free software. So have uncounted millions of other people, including, most likely, you.
