Yeah, I'm using LibreOffice, I paid $0.

This is only a problem if you weren't paying attention anything for the last 25 years and so never realised that paying for software, at all, is a scam.

Same. Oracle was doing shady shit - as always. Look up how Oracle even started. It was stolen research, patent violations, and they were selling licenses without the code even being written yet.

I wonder why companies continue shelling out money for open-source development, and when they'll stop.

It's free bug fixes and tax wrote offs. They use the code for their own proprietary software as well.

When I worked for a Fortune 100 tech company we used BusyBox for our [proprietary hardware gateway. I reverse engineered the communications for monitoring hardware produced by our competitors.
