But the GNU GPL, a major license used by open-source, is legally enforced Communism at best, and intellectual slavery at worst.

I never see any mention of how anyone is supposed to earn a living in open-source development.

Implied is that they are on the payroll of a large corporation that has some undisclosed business model by which they make money with open-source software.

Presumably, this is outfits like Amazon, IBM, Facebook, etc. that let intellectual slaves write the software they then refine and use to drive their for-profit enterprises.

So how does this benefit anyone but monopolist corporations?

Open-source is looking like smoke-and mirrors at this point.

Frankly, it looks like a swindle.
