I welcome this change.

Make software expensive = dev salary increase xD

do you really believe, that people who put in the work get more money out of that?

There will be no salary increase, but a profit increase for whoever owns the stuff. Then a profit loss, and the project going unmaintained, because it has been replaced by some other OSS.

Projects going closed source is nothing new, and happens all the time.

First off, sensationalized writing, which I cannot take seriously.

Second, personal feeling: "open source" is __not__ "free as in freedom", an important distinction, as those who call us extremists do not make GNU jihad in the cause of Allah -- any betrayal from these unbelievers has long been telegraphed.

Third, Mr. Shoesole, the current economy doesn't work like that. It's more along the lines of work until you die and get paid as little as possible.

Fourth, I hereby grant legal permission to anyone bearing a screenshot of this comment to assassinate me should I ever remove GPL from any part of the AR/codebase. EOT.

why is it a direct relation?

Rather more money for managers that would say what developers can and what they can’t do.

More regulations and certifications.

No, you will get paid the same or less, but you will have to put some change in the tip jar for every hour you spend in your favorite editor.

@BrodeoCodeMan That is assuming you have the same or more number of developers in the job market pool

That would decrease too. ;)
