Every line of code, every pull request, every debate about licensing — open source is the invisible architecture of modern technology. In Open Source with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna cut through the hype to examine the real economics, governance, and community dynamics behind Linux, GitHub, and the projects that run the internet. They don't just celebrate open source; they interrogate it. How does a volunteer-driven kernel sustain itself against corporate interests? What happens when a maintainer burns out? Why do some forks thrive while others vanish? Each episode takes one concrete case — a major project's governance shift, a controversial license change, a security incident that exposed supply chain fragility — and traces its implications for developers, businesses, and users. Lucas brings the journalist's rigor, digging into commit histories, funding data, and mailing list archives. Luna pushes back with the practitioner's instinct, asking what these abstractions mean for the person wr
