   @ariadne @scott @msw The OSI is sort of a joke and should be discounted entirely. Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft are their top sponsors in that order, which is why they're militantly opposed to strong copyleft licenses like the SSPL.

     "Philosophy rooted in libertarianism doesn't understand or care about economics. More dog bites man after the next commercial break."

     The problem with the reactionary philosophies from Redis et al is their baby with bathwatering of the assurance framework of multi stakeholder and non profit leadership.

     Trust and money must be possible together in any successful Foss system.

     @ariadne @scott @msw If the OSI wanted to support open source, it would've worked with companies like Elastic, Mongo, and Redis to approve licenses which enabled open source companies to thrive. Instead it's primary role in the past few years is protecting a proprietary SaaS platform from having to pay for stuff.

     The OSI is really not very supportive of open source software at the end of the day.
