“I think tokenized open [source] software, it’s going to be a third leg of open source business models… You have Red Hat which mastered the support model… then you have the open core model, which is Databricks being a popular one… but Akash is pure open source, there’s no commercial aspect… and I think the token [in] open source software, it’ll be a third leg in open source business models.” — 00:06:30
