Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#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.

Dotan Horovits #CNCFAmbassadorAnother #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
Isn't it curious that #Elasticsearch was added an open source license just a week before #OpenSearch joined The Linux Foundation? 🤔

In case you were on summer holiday and missed it:
Last week #Elaticsearch was relicensed, again.
Three years after Elastic took it off open source.
I scribed a few notes about this move:
