A new laser printer had just arrived—a sleek machine that promised faster, better printing. But soon, frustration took over. The printer kept jamming, halting work and wasting time. One of the programmers, Richard Stallman, decided enough was enough. He wanted the printer to send an alert when it jammed—a simple fix for a persistent problem. When he tried to access the printer's software, he hit a wall. The company had locked the code away. He couldn't get to it. This wasn't just about a faulty printer. For Stallman, it was a sign that the culture of sharing and collaboration was under threat. The tools he needed were being kept from him, and the open exchange of ideas was being stifled. 00:00 Prologue 01:03 Chapter 1: Origins of Open Source 03:31 Sponsor: Sponsor Ad 04:04 Chapter 1: Origins of Open Source 06:00 Chapter 2: Ownership and Open Source 06:30 Chapter 3: The Battle for Control 08:09 Chapter 4: Dark Truth: The Open-Source Dilemma 09:45 Chapter 5: The Challenge of Half-Baked Open-Source Software 11:07 Chapter 6: The Legacy and the Future

This is such a great production bro... keep it up!
so basically this video said, open source projects i github are programmers portofolio collection by Microsoft (this way you don't have to pay anyone for their time you just spend some dollars on servers) , so Microsoft don't have to find talented programmers all they need to do is utilize AI to find specific programmers with specific portfolio in github. when they found them, they can just contact the person offer the job, which might leaving the projects unmaintained anymore. sorry I'm dyslexic so my mind doesn't work as normal people does. anyone read this and had time, mind to speak your mind?
I stop watching videos with AI stock footage in them

rms and linus is a legend hero
All i got was don't do shit for free because people are ungrateful.
Imagine whether the printer maker was more open minded... No GNU, no GPL, no Linux...
Including AI in development, students' interest in open-source(creating, contributing, testing), community and individual interests, and licenses to protect and prevent exploitation would help open-source grow for everyone's well-being.
Make no fucking mistake, at the end, OS was used and will be used for the greater good of corporative world. It makes sense cause as seen through History, power seeks for reusability over retaliation. It's more efficient. And new private initiatives will get harder and harder to implement under their control, while theirs will remain dominant and unstoppable like never before. All thanks to the community :)
Quality content, thanks for making these videos
Is Open Source Really Open source now days, every good or big project is now almost Maintained by big corporations 😂
I feel that Open Source has a very strong future.
Great vídeo.I Hope that channel grows
1st comment, i know it’s gonna be a piece of art without even seeing it 👏
Why would you want to open source your app and let anyone steal your work??
It's not General Public License, it's Gnu General Public License. Most people just call it the GPL. I think it's up to version 3 now, but some people including Linus Torvalds don't like version 3. The Linux Kernel is still licensed under version 2.
"Locked the source code", that's the dumbest shi I've heard in years as a dev.
Your AI generated hands have too many fingers. Shame that cheap AI generated content ruined an otherwise good video.
Keep sharing bruh! i love ur vids
in my humble opinion the linux world should unit there efforts around less number of projects - maybe 30 to 50 and produce mature products that could and should be sold for low prices (20 to 30 euros / dollars) to pay those that work full time as software developers ... besides that, an insignificant low price per year could be paid (5 euros/dollars), to support the permanent maintenance / improvement of the software I understand that some work on cutting hedge projects and different directions of exploration are also needed, but if linux wants to thrive, there is the need for maturity, stable, easy to install and easy to use options that can serve a huge community of people that would like to use linux there only system and use the related applications ... as a testimonial, I can say that I could find a distro that provides a good OS and good tools for a office / business use + entertainment us, even without known much about linux ... but to go mainstream linux must focus more on providing a fully working offers without technical problems and terminal work - just an opinion obviously !!!
