Step one would probably be to stop the incessant shitting on everyone that suggests source available developers do, in fact, have a right to find ways to extract value out of their code, and that the OSI is probably the cause of all the funding woes.
But since we’re still not past even this after YEARS, I have little faith that we’ll ever get there.
- keepamovin 3y agoIt's clearly an impassioned topic for you, but it's important to remember that your passion may be clouding your judgement. While indeed methods exist, many problems remain, and it's useful to note that not all systems currently used may be appropriate for all creators. Your suggestion that complaints about current solutions are invalid, implies a lack of empathy with those who aren't served by existing mechanisms. This view could come across as too one-sided, which might hamper its ability to be taken seriously. Similarly, your comment seeks to curtaIl any critic of OSI licenses, and while it's true they provide many protections and benefits, it's also true that many new licenses and mechanisms are being used as a result of gaps in the current approach. Failing to understand the concerns of other segments of the ecosystem with which you may not be acquainted, does not mean their complaints are without merit. You may take it as an opportunity to better grasp the realities facing creators to give you a clearer understanding of the issue overall.
