OpenSource is not free software

Many people these days think of OpenSource as "Free Software" that's just flying around readily available for anyone to use, saving time and money. True to an extent but that's only half the picture. Some of the most famous open-source packages such as Core-JS to name one cause some serious issues for the maintainers but there are also quite a few success stories from the market.

Let's do a quick journey through OpenSource, meet some of the famous guys in the market and talk about their struggles keeping projects such as Log4J and many others alive.

Hear about some war stories from the whole market, some learning experiences, and what you can do to help the entire OpenSource market to stay alive and healthy.
