- [3782198-016](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-016) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Paid corporate contributors are a source of tension in open source communities: they can outwork and push out volunteers, then leave once their employer's duties are complete, leaving no one to maintain and upgrade the software.
  > These workers often devote far more effort to a project and sometimes push out volunteers. Then the paid workers leave once their duties are complete, leaving no one to maintain and upgrade the software in the future.

- [3782198-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-019) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The success of the open source movement itself creates a vulnerability: major corporations can pressure smaller projects to reveal their code, then take it and exploit the work more profitably than the startup can.
  > Another problem is that the very success of the open source move- ment allows major corporations to pressure smaller projects to reveal their code, then take it and use their power to exploit the work more profitably than the startup.
