   @downey I think that's fair. @webmink I think you folks do need to confront the fact that you're seen as explicitly lacking #FOSS principle - expedient supporters of the 'open source' development methodology. I can't personally embrace or even respect that perspective.

     @webmink I'm sorry that it's hurtful. If the OSI was more transparent about the 'enemies' you're fighting, I'd be more understanding. From my perspective, the OSI is far too willing to be seen to tolerate bad corporate behaviour. I'd love to see OSI promote a principled position in what is a deeply ethically conflicted milieu, where almost all the bad actors are corporate 'fair-weather friends' of open source, who consistently undermine #FOSS at every opportunity. We all need to pick a side.

     All I am trying to explain is that adding yet more infra to the already tottering pile of legacy was not on the cards for the website migration or the (excellent) vendor doing it. The time will come but for now neither conspiracy nor hypocrisy is a fair accusation for any of the people involved. In fact sitting here at 1am after a full day fighting the actual enemies of software freedom it's pretty hurtful.
