I don’t believe for a second that the real reason is security by obscurity. They probably believe they can make more money not being open source and this sounds like a better excuse than ”we wanna make more money”.
Probably, and I don’t care and kinda wish they boldly said so too. It’s their product to do with what they want, they built it.
One of the ugliest parts of open source is people believing they’re entitled to you working for free forever. And instead of being thankful you gave years of your labor for free, people get angry at you for not continuing to do so forever. And try to shame you as if you’re somehow greedy if that changes.
Do you work exclusively pro-bono on open source projects? Or do you work a job where you only go in if you get paid?
