Despite my arm being in a sling, I have to address this bullshit.
The #PRUSA Open Community License is a very bad thing. It’s the same bullshit we’ve seen in the software world: come up with a #fauxpensource license after years of cheerleading open source (and building a business on that goodwill).
Also: why does Josef think he’s building software when releasing printers? Open Hardware is a thing and there are specific licenses just for that.

This is extremely gross of Synadia: trying to pull back a project contribution to a foundation and switch a #fauxpensource license.

The latest proposal from @osi poses significant risks to the true principles of open source. This concern reminds me of my primary issue with EPSS, where the model is documented in a paper, yet relies on proprietary data sources that aren’t accessible for reproduction. It's like having free/open source software without the entire build chain needed to create the executable code.
What’s the actual reasoning behind this clause?

"Lately, though, there's been a very disturbing trend. A company will make its program using #OpenSource, make millions from it, and then switch licenses, leaving contributors, customers, and partners in the lurch as they grab billions."

@sjvn via ComputerWorld.This is why you should only adopt #OSS owned and governed by non-profit foundations.

In fact, if you think hard about their actual terms, you'll figure out that the only people who can still use Hashi projects for free are home users working on hobbies, provided that those hobbies generate no income at all.
That's not open source. That's Shareware!
Yes, welcome to the return of Shareware.

@indigo I hate #fauxpensource too but also the fact that users do not support open-source projects enough. How would project vs product help? Don't we use OS projects simply as products, that is expect them to be products? I'm interested because maybe you're on to something.

Pour utiliser les données de trafique routier national, il faut envoyer un e-mail et accepter la « Licence Ouverte / Open Licence d’Etalab » pas Libre et incompatible avec les licences Libres avec des absurdités comme sa durée « 3 ans renouvelable par tacite reconduction » mais surtout l'interdiction d'utilisation « proposant ou faisant la promotion de produits ou services non conformes […] aux bonnes mœurs » ?!

There is an ongoing effort to address #openwashing and #fauxpensource projects. I suspect the @osi and its community might have some resources and advice for engaging with this company to help them understand the importance of authenticity in #opensource.

#Hasbro's renege on the #OGL is just another example of the use in and dangers of @OpenWashing and (the gaming equivalent) of #FauxpenSource.
Maybe Hasbro can create an #OpenCore (oh sorry, a "Commercial Open Source") version of the Open Gaming License.
