Lack of leadership in open source results in source-available licenses
Very interesting article:
"Amazon’s behavior toward open source combined with lack of leadership from industry associations such as the Open Source Initiative (OSI) will stifle open-source innovation and make commercial open source less viable. The result will be more software becoming proprietary and closed-source to protect itself against AWS, widespread license proliferation (a dozen companies changed their licenses in 2018) and open-source licenses giving way to a new category of licenses, called source-available licenses..." https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/30/la...able-licenses/ |
A must-read article for those interested in the future of open-source.
I agree with ChuangTzu.
This is an excellent article on how amazon (and other entities), are using open source for their own commercial interests to the detriment of other entities. Also, as usual, most of the problems arise from leadership. Quote:
