By people you mean, the big tech who literally did zero effort to support OSS and do everything in their power to fully control the market even if this means pushing the open-source business model out of the market? Or abusing the OSS legal license?
- sokoloff 6y agoI don’t see this as abuse, but rather an easily contemplated and straightforward use of the license.

- sokoloff 6y agoThe license is not complex, but maybe the Wikipedia summary explanation of the license will help explain how it’s straightforward? > The Apache License is a permissive free software license written by the Apache Software Foundation(ASF).[6] It allows users to use the software for any purpose, to distribute it, to modify it, and to distribute modified versions of the software under the terms of the license, without concern for royalties [0] - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License
