@drewdevault@fosstodon.org I don't think it's such a hot take. My observation is that many successful big open source projects have "megacorp" contributors that do not intend to profit from the project *directly*. When they intend to benefit *directly* is when it tends to get messy.

Open source project governance is still a hard problem, of course. But a lot of software needs to be so large that megacorps are kinda required for sustainability.
