New “Is It Really FOSS” Site Tells Truth About Open Source Claims

https://cyberinsider.com/new-is-it-really-foss-site-tells-truth-about-open-source-claims/

"While the label “open source” once implied trust, community, and user freedom, today it is often diluted. Some projects advertise themselves as FOSS while quietly introducing closed-source components, complex licensing agreements, or backend restrictions that hinder user rights."

Yeah foss has become a buzz word for products. But what this site is talking about has been going on for many years. Are you going to make it a point to point out how each developer breaks the open source agreements?

Mostly targeting non-techies most of whom have no idea what FOSS even is and why its important. That said, I'm certainly very interested to learn!

I thought you were targeting devs who abuse foss agreements. Darn!

Lol bit above my pay grade...

Naah it comes with the job all apart of understanding the different open source license agreements & knowing which one they use when you look at a project.
