       "I feel that #IBM has gotten everything it wants from the #opensource developer community now, and we've received something of a middle finger from them..."What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it • The Registerhttps://www.theregister.com/2023/12/27/bruce_perens_post_open/

       @nonlinear preventing companies from using open source cannot be done. Sure you can put a super restrictive license, but then, surprise surprise, companies won't use (much less donate!) to the tool and will instead *choose* (and donate to!) another equivalent tool with a mild license. So this is not a winnable battle. Companies will use open source to make profit. Period.The future in my opinion is *demonetizing* entire business markets through open source.

       Linux: GPLv2Mastodon: AGPLIt's winnable, you just have to take it seriously.GCC is GPLv3 and it took a miserable slog to get clang to feature parity, which only happened because Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft all cared enough about a compiler they could make proprietary builds of.

       @nonlinear Take a market like "software for streaming online video" and it has been 90% demonetized because there is a great tool called OBS and all the streamers use it. Companies can't hardly invent any added value on *top* of that, so there really isn't a market for this.Similar story with VLC for media players. Or with Linux for server operating systems. No market for these. Thus no companies.
