A major partner told John Riccitiello personally that it will not pay the Runtime Fee – and in the strongest possible terms.

Gdot is FOSS engine. This means it will most probably never pull shit like that and even if everybody is allowed to fork it before a bad change and continue with that
I think Godot will eventually replace Unity. They’ve definitely given us enough reason to never touch Unity again, and if you already know Unity, Godot isn’t that hard to switch to.
While I totally agree with what you said, big corps would work hard to limit FOSS.
Googles web integrity API is an example of what might happen.
Nvidia could pull shit like this processing only “trusted” code from trusted source like steam which might not consider FOSS as trusted.
Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux and I prefer FOSS over closed source software.
But recently the gate seems to be getting closed slowly. Corps devoting their resources to lobby against FOSS.
That has been a decades long battle. They’ll never win the war.
Microsoft was 100% against Linux 15 years ago. Now there is a Linux subsystem sitting next to the core of the OS.
And honestly it seems like FOSS solutions are way more usable these days. In the old days it was a huge hit in either features or UI.
Yes, they’ve taken an “if you can’t beat them, join them” approach to FOSS for a while now.
However you still can brew your own soup if there is a foss Version of a program out there.
