- vortico 8y agoI disagree because the OSI definition explicitly states that the software must not limit groups of people of any kind from using the software, regardless of how evil they may be or whether they comply to whatever monoculture you speak of. That's the point. By writing open-source software, you are explicitly allowing people with completely opposite ideals to use, review, and derive the software. And that's the beauty of it.
