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

Changeloggers mentioned Karen having been on the show in the past

I episode down, two episodes added to queue :)

Can Agentic AI Coding Tools Finally End Copyright For Software While Re-Inventing Open Source?

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.techdirt.com/2026/04/03/can-agentic-ai-coding-tools-finally-end-copyright-for-software-while-re-inventing-open-source/

Another #opensource #database turns to the dark side.
#scylladb announced discontinuing its OSS edition (AGPL license), and #relicensing the Enterprise edition to a source-available (non #FOSS) one.

Remember folks: vendor-owned open source is an oxymoron.

William Morgan, CEO of Buoyant states that open source is sustainable under a single vendor as long as they "have clear economic incentives to keep doing what they're doing".

But he avoids the elephant in the room.

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 🤩

It was surreal to see my personal blog quoted alongside The New York Times, WIRED and the European Commission's Joinup magazine 😍

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?
And most importantly, it doesn't address the main concern:
When owned by a single vendor, project license is volatile. https://horovits.medium.com/b5486a4de1c6
