   Another open source database (#redis) is switching to #sspl because the #osi prefers it's Big Tech backers over sustainable open source development.

   Please remember that the reason they are forced to do this to survive is because a company which forces their employees to pee in bottles to make quotas while their CEO goes to space refuses to pay for what it uses.

   #amazon is the OSI's second biggest sponsor. (The first is, of course, #google)

     Do not cheer for the Big Tech backed "open"-branded fork that will be announced in the next week. As people any sort of ethics, we need to realize Amazon and Google aren't the good guys, and the open source community's defense of the FSF and OSI is reaching "weird nerd" status.

     FAANGs and a dude who supports pedophiles every chance he can should not be who we entrust to steward what FOSS is. We should do better.
