I believe all proprietary software to be an evolutionary dead end.

Maybe it'll take 50 or 100 years.

But what happens, just like what happened fairly quickly,

with like encyclopedia Britannica and other encyclopedias and Wikipedia,

is that the thing which is open to all and gets everyone working together,

if it truly gets that sort of like humanity working together on the same shared resource,

you get the opposite of the tragedy of the comments versus like the field being overrun,

each person operating in their own self-interest sort of kills the environment

or kills the shared thing.

You get each person operating in their own self-interest,

makes to share a thing better and better.

And in digital world, we can do that because we have economics,

economics, of abundance, versus economics, of scarcity.

That's why open source will eventually win every mark of its end.
