The future of open source is still very much in flux

Open-source software, which began with Richard Stallman's GNU project in 1983, has become a keystone of the tech industry despite lingering problems with leadership, diversity and volunteer funding. Today 96% of code bases incorporate open-source software, and GitHub is used by more than 100 million developers worldwide. Karen Sandler of the Software Freedom Conservancy says companies profit from proprietary work without giving the public appreciable rights to their software, while Kelsey Hightower argues that corporate sharing should be celebrated.
