Why do organizations so often choose a non-Open Source license (such as the BUSL) and a DOSP release arrangement when simply publishing under the AGPL4 from the start might, in many cases, meet their goals well enough? #dosp #busl #opensource https://blog.opensource.org/a-historic-view-of-the-practice-to-delay-releasing-open-source-software-osis-report/

@lucasgonze Scientific and historic curiosity, no special concerns. Wouldn't you want to know when that practice started and what happened to the projects/products that used it? Are they thriving? Are they dead? Are they still using it? So many questions.

When do BUSL-licensed projects have different contribution dynamics than truly Open Source projects, and when (if ever) do they have similar dynamics? #dosp #busl #opensource https://blog.opensource.org/a-historic-view-of-the-practice-to-delay-releasing-open-source-software-osis-report/

When a previously Open Source project is converted to DOSP by its licensor, under what circumstances does this tend to cause a viable fork to occur? Delve into the research paper "Delayed Open Source Publication" #dosp #busl #opensource https://blog.opensource.org/a-historic-view-of-the-practice-to-delay-releasing-open-source-software-osis-report/

Our goal is to ensure that the development and use of Open Source software is at best facilitated and at worst not obstructed by any aspect of the standards development process, the resulting harmonized standards, and the access and IPR terms of those standards. https://opensource.org/blog/cra-standards-request-draft-published #OpenSource
