- 0x_rs 2y agoPublic domain is not OSI approved. They also don't approve of CC0. It's an example of why the general, common sense definition of the term "FOSS" doesn't (and shouldn't, I believe) align with OSI's, but it doesn't matter most of the time, not to the average user or developer. https://opensource.org/blog/public-domain-is-not-open-source https://opensource.org/blog/public-domain-is-not-open-source
- School-Cotton 2y agoThat’s weird, but I guess it makes sense since public domain isn’t valid in all countries.
