@aral there is this line in fasterandworse.com/the-aura-of about open-source which I wrote with some anecdotal confidence it was true, but since I've learned it is far from true:

"In non-profit, government, or volunteer-based open source projects, the posture can, and usually does, match the reality but in commercial tech it’s always contingent to the strength of a business case."

@fasterandworse @aral It's not entirely wrong, but disregards legal requirements. When a company sells something, they can be required to do some things, like support accessibility. Open source doesn't let itself be legislated quite so easily.
