This is your reminder that OSI shills for corporations and is opposed to the GNU project and digital freedoms.
OSI has always existed to shift the conversation from talking about freedoms and rights in the digital era to about software quality.
Here, again, we see them pushing their corporate-benefactors' interests: reducing costs and meeting compliance requirements.
- justinclift 3y ago> OSI has always existed to shift the conversation from talking about freedoms and rights in the digital era to about software quality. That seems wildly inaccurate. If you take a look at their internal license discussion mailing list, the majority of the time the members are talking about the freedoms and rights of various licenses and proposals. Discussion archives are here if that's useful: http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/ http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists....
- curtis3389 3y agoI believe you misunderstood what I wrote. The difference between the OSI and GNU/FSF are well stated here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html
