OSI was financed by Tim O’Reilly originally and now by big tech companies as a way to co-opt th free software movement and make it more business friendly. They have successfully convinced a generation of developers that “Open Source” is pure and holy, but a licensee that includes a term that says something like no company making more than $100 million per year can use this software for free is unclean and maybe even evil. They don’t want alternative licenses to exist because it hurts their bottom line.
