i feel like it's okay that they do this, but i don't like the term "source available". maybe something like "Free for Non-Commercial Use" or "FOSS-NC"?
The free software banshees will call it all proprietary… It’s not that it doesn’t make sense to draw different lines, but when folks treat OSI with a lot of reverence & if they say it doesn’t match their definition, folks want want to use it or release under these titles. “Source available” is also roped in with the we-get-a-monopoly licenses & gets knocked down a peg as if “open source” is the pinnacle of freedom despite the Commons being ransacked by corporations not giving back monetary support or contributions for the labor.
My issue will be when OSI deems something as nonfree simply for adding that
NCfor non-commercial labels so the corporations can’t abuse the Commons.i feel like it's okay that they do this, but i don't like the term "source available". maybe something like "Free for Non-Commercial Use" or "FOSS-NC"?
