Open source is sustainable. It's just slow progress, because people do it when they have paid their dues to the capitalist project.

Sometimes people have time and energy to give to the things they care about. Sometimes, when corporates fire their colleagues to scare them so they can squeeze more life out of them, they have less time and energy.

I'm not sure how money factors into this. The reason open source is such good quality is because it's done by people who WANT TO DO IT.

Start paying for it, or have people rely on money from it, then it will start to suck and very soon stop being open source, after which it will suck even more at an accelerating rate.
