  Essay argues open source stays free unless licensing changes

  A Hacker News-posted essay argues that open source tends toward licenses that allow free commercial use, and that attempts to restrict or monetize software at the license level are usually outcompeted by forks. It cites examples including React, Elasticsearch, Terraform, and Redis to support the claim that more permissive forks often win broader adoption.
