I have said that it matters in some ways. It matters, for example, that K8s is open, not because of the license, but bc that openness makes it easier for vendors to rally around a single standard (though of course there's no single standard – just look at the cloud services).

By
–
No, I think the "kids" decided that. Go back and look at what @monkchips pointed out over a decade ago. The GitHub generation went "post open source." If I sound like I like it, I don't.But I also see every day that it doesn't matter the way it once did (or that I thought it did)

By
–

fighting this battle, but the industry has moved on. It just has, and has been moving for the entirety of my career. Cloud laid it bare, but it has been happening since the day I wrote my first "why the GPL is best" article eons ago.
