Notices by Dan Brown (danb@fosstodon.org)

Not too surprising but kind of ironic:

I received a copyright takedown notice for sharing a link to the "2025 State of Open Source Report" (produced by Perforce, in partnership with @osi and @EclipseFdn)

@osi thanks, I respect that my link worked around their intended path of distribution though. It would just be good to see future OSI involved reports be distributed via non-privacy-concerning means and in the spirit of open redistribution, rather than these anti-open and old fashioned lead capture forms.

Bit concerned about the current @osi board of directors election, having watched one of the candidates (Chad Whitacre) be vocal about wanting to change open source against the OSD, and knowing their company is strongly VC-funded and happy to be spending resources.

I've also had good discussions with them, but it I still think it's in the interest & desires of Sentry (and other projects in the VC world) to broaden the scope of what open source is.

@plausible congrats! Logo looks great! I've been a happy plausible self-hoster for 3 of those years, and still loving the project!
