The thing that gets me about the docusign palaver with the board agreements is that if the OSI were more in tune with the community they would have known that folks like NLNet dogfood opensource.
NLNet dogfood it to the point that when I signed my agreement with them, they were able to recommend 2 options to sign our agreement with them. At least one of which I think they funded.
For the OSI to not only use Proprietary software and mandate it shows just how much they don't represent FOSS.

@onepict To be fair, the whole notion of #OpenSource has always been to neglect computer users right ro run, edit, contribute to, and share software. #FLOSS #FOSS #FreeSoftware

@downey @onepict @froge meh, what is wrong with the four software freedoms? #FreeSoftware

@onepict @froge FWIW, there is already a community fork of the OSD from when OSI surrendered their leadership during the OSIAID fiasco.
:OSI: ➡️ :freesoftware:

@froge some folks have always known. But I don't blame folks for wanting to make it better.
Especially because things like the Open Source Definition tend to matter in places like public funding for software development.
My project releases stuff under the GPL. Which we chose, but it's still a condition of our NGI funding to use an OSI approved licence.

@onepict@chaos.social another day, another user discovers that the OSI is a business front without much care for FOSS in reality lol
