LLMs are breaking open-source monetization.
Group 1 is untouched since they were writing code for the sake of writing and they have the reward of that altruism.
Group 2 are those that needed their projects to bring in some revenue so they can continue writing open-source.
Group 3 are companies that used open-source as a way to get market share from proprietary companies, using it more in a capitalistic way.
Overtime, I think groups 2 and 3 will leave open-source and group 1 will make up most of the open-source contributors. It is up to you to decide if projects like Redis would be built today with the monetary incentives gone.
