Apparently nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was invited to give a talk at FOSDEM and lots of people got upset about it. I have no idea if the talk will happen, but I do wonder if these guys protesting understand that the vast majority of open source projects are sponsored and funded by corporations. To not include and understand the motivations of those companies and how they use and support open source feels like willful ignorance.

The first freedom of free software is that you can run the code for any purpose, including as a business making money it capitalism.

Really sad, they missed the opportunity to discuss and study new dynamics to make open source sustainable.

Never questioning oneself, always questioning others, is a big limitation.
