That's something that strikes me about modern open source, if I ever want to write software, say a game or a music player, I'll want to keep the source code for myself.
I get that the GPL makes it possible to sell the software while giving out the source code, so in that sense it can have advantages over a proprietary license since you can rely on others working on it as well, and still sell it at the end.
But with most other licenses you are doing volunteer labor, and working on systems that are more complex than what pros are doing with absolutely no recognition or reward.
It doesn't make sense for open-source to be anything more than a niche within shareware, and the idea that software devs are some kind of artist with a portfolio to show to employers is also stupid imo, if someone starts working as a C++ dev in an aeronautics company, his experience will be with the kind of problems aeronautic engineers encounter, not writing C++.
