    Yes there is.

    OSS exists in society and contributes to society and is developed by individuals who need to get paid.

    OSS is not volunteerism, it’s a legal framework to ensure that everyone benefits from the communal effort.

    Billionaires have made trillions of dollars off the back of that and still those same developers are struggling to eat.

    So, no. I disagree strongly with your assessment and the inventor of OSS does too, Bruce Perens is attempting to address this inequity with his Post Open project.
