tl;dr anyone? (Pretty please)

I've listened to only 2/3 of it, but: he promotes Crystal+Lucky (crystal is compiled) as good replacements for Ruby and Rails. The second part of his talk is about promoting a new variant of open license called PostOpen, which will require commercial users of Post Open software to pay 1% for using, 1.5% for using without sharing modifications. There is a 10% fee for worse offense. All percentages are percentages of revenue. This is partly aimed at large companies that host open source software with few modifications as a service and charge for it. Money goes to PostOpen and possibly conventional Open Source developers.

Ah, so a linux system contains more than 100 packages, does that mean if it used this scheme companies would have to pay out >100% of revenue?

Colour me unconvinced of the viability of this scheme.

No, and this is expressly discussed in TFV. It's a flat 1% regardless of how many "post open source" resources are used. This is intended to encourage adoption of more POS (unfortunate acronym) once you use any.

Well if people want their ideas to be heard they need to write them down instead burying them in long videos amidst topics i dont care about. (Not blaming bruce, we're not the target audience here, but im still not watching a long form video).

I still think its a weird business model. I can't imagine any propriatary software would work with that. Its very discouraging for small projects that do simple things, or for companies that want to try out software a little at first before committing to using it at a large scale.
