   I have little patience for arguments about linguistic framing that also contrast "Permissive" vs GPL when the GPL is itself a permissive license. That usage is an indicator of a partisan actor.

     @webmink @larsmb @msw @lightweight @osi The term “open source” is undergoing an identity crisis; these are the conflations and intended meanings of the term developed by bad players within the greater Free Software community who have used them that way for a decade or longer. Again, glad to hear it’s different in the OSI circuit in the EU, but that’s how it’s primarily used and what it means in the States on the whole.
