i see it as more of an evolution.

Like patent system, litigious closed source software produced very little and what it did produce did not have funding to be properly maintained

whereas

FOSS fostered peer collaboration improving the entire ecosystem of how to go about producing better software, produced alot, and what it did produce did not see much funding to be properly maintained

Before a political ideology claims victory i insist maintenance be fully funded.

Claiming victory while marching off a cliff is laughable.

No party represents producers. Otherwise H1B visas would not be a thing.
