Corporations Are Not Your Friends

That cute open-source project with 10k GitHub stars? Just wait until BigTech acquires it and slaps a $49.99/month "enterprise" tier on features that used to be free. Remember when MongoDB changed their license because AWS was eating their lunch? Or when Docker suddenly needed to "monetize" after years of free containers? The corporate circle of life: embrace, extend, extinguish... and extract your credit card info. The only relationship these companies want is with your wallet.
