  • Linux can win as long as services / protocols are commodities.
  • OSS projects have been able to gain a foothold in many server applications because of the wide utility of highly commoditized, simple protocols. By extending these protocols and developing new protocols, we can deny OSS projects entry into the market.

Those two are things we as a community need to focus on. This Fediverse we’re in is one fine solution though :)
