This is a list of resources about OSS vs Cloud.
The resources here highlight the trend of Cloud vendors picking up popular OSS projects and providing managed services to increase their margin and opportunity. In the majority of cases without contributing back to the OSS development itself. COSS companies formed by the creators of these OSS projects are fighting a new reality in which building a business around OSS becomes even more difficult.
OSS sustainability is potentially being set back by the unlawful practices of Cloud giants.
