edit: And lots of back and forth regarding reviving LibreOffice Online here: https://community.documentfoundation.org/t/vote-revoke-votes...
Seems messy
I wish we would admit that you can't have it all. You can't have a product that is open source with neutral foundation governance and also have that same product be de facto proprietary. People have been pushing this bait-and-switch business model for too long.
replyConversely, I feel like a company with a cracker jack support team to match their sales team could profitably sell support for ALSA if they wanted to.
replyALSA?

Thanks. I thought this was superseded a long time ago, but apparently the newer sound architectures build on top of it.
replyIt was not really proprietary though? I don't like Collabora Office at all as a product (sorry, and I have tried) and the branding situation is super messy (sorry but it's true) but all the code is online.
replyCollabora was unhappy about the LOOL revival, but not enough to leave.
replyIt was only when TDF contrived reasons to expel Collabora people that Collabora decided to leave.
(Full Disclosure: I am one of the Collabora people expelled)
Oh shit, I’m so sorry Noel. That’s awful!
