Going through backlog in podcasts and had an old Changelog episode mentions the Free as in Freedom ( FaiF ) podcast. If you're interested in FLOSS licensing ( or FLOSS in general ) and haven't listened to FaiF you should grab the back catalog and listen to it

#OpenSource Isn't Dead...It's Just Forked
#Relicensing has forced the open source world to confront its identity crisis. Are we building digital commons, or are we just subsidizing corporate profit? The answer lies in how we interpret and address the motivations behind relicensing and the community’s response to it.
Critics see it as a breach of trust, where corporate priorities overshadow the ethos of open collaboration.

The most exciting moment of Open Source Summit 2024 last month for me wasn't when I went on stage.

It was at the very first minutes of the conference, during the opening keynote,
when I saw my humble blog post "When Your Open Source Turns to the Dark Side" featured 🤩

Sentry is running a campaign for the new marketing term "fair source". Currently this boils down to their new Functional Source License (FSL).
So far there's not much traction: GitButler and four early stage startups.
What differentiation does this new category offer from source available?
