There is the licensing and the ecosystem side which are part of the 'meta runtime' of the code and then there is the political story.
Is it possible that since the superiority of the open source model in several places is so obvious (i.e. when the code itself contains no secret sauce) this political narrative of whose development model is better is no longer pertinent?
I would say privacy is partly a different arena altogether, as well are software patents.
My head is too small to fit all of this into a coherent view. All I see is a delightful and shiny MIT license.
