Ben RamseyNothing will destroy Open Source quicker than treating all the devs who work on open source software as suppliers in a supply chain.

I am not a supplier
For the past few years, we have seen a lot of discussions around the concept of the Software Supply Chain. These discussions started around the time of LeftPad and escalated with multiple incidents in the past few years. The problem of all the work in this domain is that it forgets a fundamental point.

Good Text and I get his stance on "You can make me a supplier". To not kill FOSS the "licensed" work would have to go back into the public domain and that is where company's have a problem (in my experience): They don't want to pay for something which then benefits everyone, maybe also their rivals.
I think a change of company culture here is key to making this happen in a FOSS driven world, without becoming closed gardens.
