Totally agree. They could be the stars of their repository

What kind of attitude?

the source code for freeware is typically not made available

Typically it different than never. It means that sometimes the source code is made available and is the case of FOSS.>

Unlike with free and open-source software, which are also often distributed free of charge, the source code for freeware is typically not made available.

It clearly says “typically”, which includes the software that does open source the code.

Open source means that the source code is…open, that everyone can view and use it, it doesn’t mean that everyone can contribute to it. Or am I wrong?

Let’s start with the basics: is dev.to self hosted? 😁

I didn’t and it doesn’t matter because you wrote it under this article and so it’s related to it. I’m not saying that it’s not true, but it can’t be related to this fact.

I don’t like the comment “this is why people say the open source ecosystem sucks” because a bankruptcy of a company has nothing to do with the concept of open source.
