Yes please.

I agree with many of your points. But FOSS or fuck off, I don't agree with this. There are good non FOSS products and they can continue building because they have a working business model. Yes they could do FOSS and run a business too, but it's ok if it's not (except if the product "protects" your private keys or other secrets, in this case, FOSS or fuck off). Small FOSS projects can't last forever without money. It's a fact

my point was exactly to challenge the sacred cow of FOSS or fuck off

so you agree, i think..

to be clear, i love FOSS, because it fosters collaboration.. but i'm not a FOSS extremist, i think there's space for both in nostr

I disagree. The advantage of the software corporations vs. FOSS was that they could fund the developers. With Lightning, now the FOSS developers can be funded directly. I believe this will be crucial to counteract the software corporations and have more and better FOSS (and eventually open hardware as well) than ever before.
