I know that monetizing open source is hard but in exchange they would have 8 billion programmers ready, for free! Even if they do like redhat , as controversial as it is right now, they would be better off than just closing the source. I would be willing to pay to have the license to modify my own software even if I couldn't redistribute it afterwards.
