being open doesn't mean it becomes free to use, you can still sell your licenses

successful product, and is open source: https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite
there are many examples like that
being open source allows your users to participate in the development, fixing things, and adding new features the company wouldn't have done themselves because: lack of budget, or "too risky"
this is why i dropped Sublime Text for a different editor, i was waiting years for them to fix a feature that annoy me so bad (file preview when you search), and it still not fixed, closed source mean i can't do shit
i no longer use proprietary software for that reason, whenever possible i decide to use one that is open source
also the industry adopting Blender is a clear sign that a product being open source plays a big role for adoption
> As a hobby videographer using Ubuntu I find myself switching between Kdenlive and Davinci Resolve, depending on the size and complexity of the project. For a small 30-second clip I like the more approachable, simple workflow of Kdenlive but holiday videos with a hundred or more cuts work much better with Davinci for me.
What about FLOSS Olive video editor?[0,1]
As for me, for a small 30-second clip Olive is much better choice than Kdenlive.

competition is growing, unreal is fully open source, and more and more people have been asking for the source, there was even some drama few years ago when unity DMCA'd (if i remember correctly) a reference source code of unity engine (decompiled) on github, then unity made it officially available on their github: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference after users complained about it
wich already proved effective and caused them to fix a huge performance issue shortly after: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/pull/...
