Open-source companies gather to gripe: Cloud giants sell our code as a service – and we get the square root of nothing

Darned capitalism!

Capitalism and altruism do not play well together. (Or perhaps unregulated Capitalism.) It was inevitable that Open Source would become commercialized regardless of the creator's intent.

Having watched the Internet as it was destroyed by commercial interests it's hardly surprising that the software underlying it would also be exploited.
