I fail to understand the use of the term open source when the resource itself can be bought by oligarchs. Like organic vegetables, or clean coal.
It was open source till the ones who has the keys (which shouldn't be a thing for FOSS in the first place) got an offer that made their greed take over. It's a thing that keeps happening and it needs to be a very strong lesson that anything open source needs to be handled in a way where no one can do this.
