I referenced Dirk's original "single-vendor" paper in the FAQ, "Why should I adopt Fair Source at my company?" fair.io/faq
I engaged heavily with a lot of Dirk's work in my historical deep-dive:

> Dirk asked in 2021, “What’s next after ‘source-available’?” Our answer is Fair Source. I’ve made the case that it is a good way to resolve tensions that have been present in Open Source since the beginning. The net effect can be more closed-source code released to the world, and less pressure to change the Open Source Definition one way or another.

Agreed, time will tell. A major test is whether we ever see a viable fork under DOSP, seems likely years away if ever.
