Office space meme:

"If y'all could stop calling an LLM "open source" just because they published the weights... that would be great."

  • 7-zip
  • VLC
  • OBS
  • Firefox did it only to mostly falter to Chrome but Chrome is largely Chromium which is open source.
  • Linux (superseded all the Unix, very severely curtailed Windows Server market)
  • Nearly all programming language tools (IDEs, Compilers, Interpreters)
  • Essentially all command line ecosystem (obviously on the *nix side, but MS was pretty much compelled to open source Powershell and their new Terminal to try to compete)

In some contexts you aren't going to have a lively enough community to drive a compelling product even as there's enough revenue to facilitate a company to make a go of it, but to say 'no open source software has acheived that' is a bit much.
