As belts tighten, corporate #opensource evolves—further and further from the ideals of Free Software.
Partly due to bad actions by "freeloaders," but also companies putting too much value in building code, and not enough on community and support. https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license
@geerlingguy *nodds in agreement*
Were the #GPLv3 not ideological garbage but actually comitted to #FLOSS remaining #public, it would've chosen #PublicAccessibilit to code as priority over illegally demanding surrender of all #Patents and #IP.
In fact, #grsecurity #paywalling the code was the first warning shot, and when that went through, others like #Elastic and #MongoDB and now #RedHat saw that they could get away with #paywalls on #FLOSS...
It's sickening.
@geerlingguy Not that I doubt that companies want to make #money and that they want to enshure that no #GAFAM - espechally #Amazon - just yoinks their code and make a better #SaaS out of it whilst contributing 0 $ or code back into the project.
Stuff like the #SSPL & #AGPLv3 won't fix the issues - in fact they'd rather worsen the situation, only empowering the rich that can pay lawyers.
