The only thing that will die is the open source rug pull model where companies dominate their space by having an open ecosystem and a large community of volunteers and then unilaterally switch the license terms from under everyone so that the founding team and VCs can make billions. Efforts like OpenTofu have thankfully shown us that the community can organize and take back control of their projects, and I really hope we see more such forks.

Going forward as a contributor your best bet is to direct your efforts towards a project sponsored by a reputable open source foundation, not a VC-funded startup.
