You can't really EEE an open source project.

I see you're younger than some of us. That's okay.

EEE was explicitly coined by M$ in the 90s and early 2000s, targeted at open source software.

Embrace the (opensource) standard. Become the gold standard of it.

Extend it with proprietary additions. Leverage them to make your competition inferior, and patent lock them out of the functionality needed for 20 years.

Extinguish the rest of the field - no longer support anything outside your special slop. Congratulations, you used free software to build a proprietary walled garden that competes with it.
