Reprehensible behavior.

  There's long been a view held by certain cynical entrepreneurs that they can go with #OpenSource to build a user base then bait-and-switch #SoftwareFreedom away once it is established. That's bad. What's worse is to donate to an open source Foundation then pretend you have the right to "take back" the project later. This is not a new phenomenon, we have seen it before and can spot the signs (like fake licenses). But this case (#NATS at #CNCF) looks pretty severe. https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04/24/protecting-nats-and-the-integrity-of-open-source-cncfs-commitment-to-the-community/

  @ed Is it as reprehensible as not being accountable and hiding election results that have been published since they came about? Where are the results of the 2025 election results? https://codeberg.org/OSI-Concerns/election-results-2025 #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS @webmink

  @contrarian Those results are not unredracted. I realize you're a troll, so have a *plonk*.

  @amszmidt
  More, because the results you're asking for have been published here: https://opensource.org/blog/announcing-the-new-directors-of-osi-board
  ... and even if they hadn't it is the @osi board that is responsible and not @osi
  Plenty of us have been here long enough to be able to tell the difference between partisan trolling and corporate abuse. Stop feeding the culture war, there is enough of that in this country already.

  For those not in the known, @contrarian@mstdn.plus has been harassing and bullying respected community members within the #FOSS #FLOSS #FreeSoftware #OpenSource community.
