"open science" doesn't imply dying penniless though
Lord Kelvin, born middle class, had an estate, private laboratories, and threw "scientific parties" on his yacht
probably some of the transatlantic cable $$$ helped
When you look back at the history of science and technology, all the names you remember were open science. Tesla died penniless, yet we know his name. Newton, Plato, and Turing didn't work on closed stuff. It's a trade of temporary comfort for a shot at eternal glory.
