This is part of the reason I couldn’t get to a good place (mentally) in order to do a _real_ “Saving Open Source” talk at #PHPTek:
From @geerlingguy: “2024 is the year corporate open source died”
https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/corporate-open-source-dead
Maybe it’s just time to say “fuck it” and #GPL all the things?
The #OpenSource movement was a response to corporate skittishness around using #FOSS, and it focused on very permissive licenses to make corporations feel more comfortable using it. Maybe that turned out to be the wrong approach. Maybe the #OSI helped create the problem.
If the OSI helped create it, #GitHub encouraged and exacerbated it.
@ramsey Well #Microsoft owns #GitHub and is a major contributor to the #OSI. #TechRights has a lot of documentation on how big tech companies, led by Microsoft and #Google, pull the strings at OSI and #LinuxFoundation.
