But, long-term, it's the most efficient way to do things (the “free
software development model” Red Hat suits love to congratulate
themselves
on; it’s a development model, not just a bunch of licenses and
deployment
formats).
I am not sure why you mention RH here.
I mention RH because so far, it’s been one of the few companies which
has understood the difference between licensing and development model.
That is both the reason why it sponsors the Fedora project as it exists
today, and (IMHO) the reason it has consistently out-competed companies
dabbling in the “open source” space, without understanding the model
dimension (allowing RH to continue sponsoring Fedora).
All the proposals that try to renege on the dev model part (the “share”
in Fedora) are doomed to long-term failure, both at the Fedora and RH
level (and the RH level translates into no funding for the project, so
it’s a second-level Fedora failure).
And, people commonly misunderstand dev as meaning upstream source code
only. It is not. Dev includes all the integration work done
packaging-side.
