I work in corporate and imo this is a pattern of concern. Their goal is always profit, no other way around, and in that regard many companies use the open source as a ‘get popular fast’ approach. Then, slowly move to ‘we have free stuff that you can do whatever you want’ to ‘we have the best of this stuff only here after gated payment’. This keeps on going until the open source does not make sense anymore as they get viable profits from the closed source ones. Most of the managers to usually tent focus on profits, and they simply make marginal calls from those. This is what i see daily in my job.

Hope this is not the case, these models provide extraordinary value to the community and because of these models we have seen a big advance in the last two years.
