Open source does not mean accepting everyone's work or even accepting contributions at all. From the article, it seemed like this was the major concern.

I found the part that said "yes open source provides transparency but we have a roadmap" a bit weird.

It's their product, so if they don't want to open source it then they shouldn't. No need to write a silly article with almost as many emojis as words.

Sqlite is public domain, but not open for contributions => https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html

That is incredibly awesome and noble of them.

That does not mean it becomes the benchmark for everybody.

I was thinking exactly this while reading the article. Open source goes further than external contributions.

No need to write a silly comment with almost as pointless as the article maybe?
