@ainmosni @onepict The term “FOSS” probably has more to do with why we keep getting surprised by these sorts of things over and over again more than anything else.

The F and the OSS are very separate things.

It’s like looking at the Corporate Democrats or New Labour and wondering why they’re not progressive.

The only thing “open source software” and the people who build “open source software” care about is that the source is open. Literally just that. It’s open as in open for business and it’s always been that. Associating with free software has always been a whitewashing effort. And we seem to freely allow it to the detriment of the latter.
