I have a hunch that a bunch of hobby open source is moribund and we’re going to see a form of closed source collectives emerge. I’m thinking about retro game decompilation groups here, but I suspect they won’t be the only ones.

On the other end of the spectrum, I think corporate-sponsored open source is going to slow down dramatically until legal systems decide whether clean room via LLM is real or not.

That side of the world was already wrestling a similar problem with cloud giants eating their lunch (see: the proliferation of non-FOSS source available licenses).
