        Sony kept Betamax format proprietary they won’t allow anybody to use it freely. While VHS was made open source.

          You ever heard of a little thing called Blu-Ray? Was that open source?

          Ever heard of a little company called Apple? Because they’re basically the antithesis of open source but still insanely successful.
