I think we are losing the value of Open Source. The core objective of Open Source has been to let people learn the internals of a software application with the help of source code, and improve it further so that everyone benefits.

Let's understand this with my favorite example-Anaconda installer for RedHat based Linux distros. Anaconda is a fantastic piece of software, but it lacks documentation. So to modify it, you have to be a reverse engineer, and not a software developer. Therefore, contributing to its further development is difficult.
