Wonder if he'll make a video about himself trying to change the definition of open-source?

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is this what you're talking about? Is AGPL controversial now?
When did Louis "Right to Repair" Rossmann become the bad guy?

FUTO's The Open Source Definition
Open source just means access to the source code. [...]
What is wrong with this company? How do you have the thought and then follow all the way through with it, that you need an own definition of a commonly used word? That's just being obtuse and annoying.
danb.me's criticisms and tone are valid, but it looks FUTO has taken down their ill-advised license page and are using an unmodified AGPL.
I'm struggling to assign malice here; Louis is a hardware guy, and not every software person is really up on what distinguishes free software from freeware. FUTO seems like a pretty small shop; I'd give them a pass on this one.
He called a liscence that doesnt allow redistribution that changes the donation link or copying the branding "open source", which it is it's just a bit more restrictive
Yeah, after that I'm not really interested in what the grifter thinks.
This is a repost. Also, like, do we need to keep spamming Beehaw's tech section with headlines that reference rape as like, a casual way to say that a company did something dishonest? Cause I'm not really into it.
Like, seriously, is there a creepier version of this headline?
