I was unfair in the last reply, let me address you correctly this time. You are looking at software, software is already solved. You app, software, system is your, you can deploy whenever you want. I'm talking about the bigger community, when your software isn't yet "yours" anymore.

[...] because the moment it gets popular, someone has to pay for it, and the only people willing to pay are the ones who want to own/mine it.[...]

This is the point where needs to be own, of have the right governance, where your (as a user) desire is accounted for the system.

Hopefully this explains better.
