Not just Stallman, it's incompatible with the OSI definition of open source.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> incompatible with the OSI definition of open source So what? Why does it matter what they think?
- zelon88 5y agoIt doesn't. The OSI is basically a fancy landing page that tricks people into thinking open source has a front man. Everything about the OSI comes from a pedestrian perspective. Really nothing more than an informative blog.
- teddyh 5y agoBecause they created the term itself. The term became popular because of the meaning they gave it.
- ToddWBurgess 5y agoDepends where you live. In Canada and a lot of other parts of the world intellectual property also has something called moral rights. What is being done here is well within the copyright holder's moral rights in many parts of the world. If your name is associated with a project you have the right to assert how your project is used because it could reflect on the copyright holder's name and reputation. Like all things intellectual property rights, the copyright's moral rights would have to be determined by a court of law in the copyright holder's legal jurisdiction.
