@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.

@webmink @larsmb @msw @lightweight @osi it’s the prepondeance of bad actors claiming “open source” and narrowly conflating it with those permissive licenses and gaslighting corporate interests that are doing the polarizing, not the majority of floss or Free Software communities ;)

@lightweight @msw open source by itself (at least States & circles I frequent) is used in distinction to Free Software/FLOSS, this is due open core movement & permissive licenses that don’t respect user freedom as much as possible (BSD, MIT), &frankly, the efforts that some BSD / anti GNU folks do using the term in distinction to GPL / fs / floss & cozy up with corporate partners - disambiguation needed; on own= negative connotation @lightweight
