A lot of us distribute software. It’s not an outlier, it’s the majority. It may have been a different concern 20 years ago, but software and adoption has changed dramatically.

I’m not. I’m saying that it’s odd to be able to justify GPL as open source yet be unwilling to consider something like BSL as part of the ecosystem. Both have serious restrictions, albeit different. Neither let you “do whatever you want” which some might write is true FOSS.
