- ZeroGravitas 4y agoI think they are referring to "open source" being a corporate friendly rebranding of "Free Software". At the time it was drama about GPL which proprietary software forms didn't like but in the modern server world that isn't as relevant.
- ensignavenger 4y agoThe SSPL is being promoted and used by big tech companies that are selling software to other big tech companies. If it was about keeping big tech out, I think it is failing. And it isn't open source, it promotes vendor lock in and discourages successful forking. It is the antithesis of FOSS.
