@bkuhn @richardfontana @osi @ed Bradley, what were you expecting from an organization specifically dedicated to serving corporate interests and convenient software (as long as it's convenient enough, proprietary software is alright)?

The 3 examples you have given are not great, as whatever transportation method, whatever paper you use or whatever food you eat is not relevant to (lets say) the goal of software freedom.

I'm glad you're aware that Docusign is proprietary malware and running proprietary malware is the antithesis of software freedom.

But could it be that the goal of the "open source institute" is not software freedom and therefore joining it to do something other than a corporates bidding won't be very fruitful?


Spoiler; the only reason "open source" exists, is due to how corporates get their feelings hurt if they ever notice published information about how you should use free software that respects your freedom and that proprietary software is immoral (this part really hurts their feelings, as they know they are acting immorally and don't like people realizing it).
