In an overt attack on the people who actually did all the work — the geeks who built excellent software to be gradually privatised through the #LinuxFoundation (a sort of price-fixing and #openwashing #cartel for shared interests of #proprietarysoftware firms) http://techrights.org/2022/01/16/stealing-hacker-culture/
In an overt attack on the people who actually did all the work — the geeks who built excellent software to be gradually privatised through the #LinuxFoundation (a sort of price-fixing and #openwashing #cartel for shared interests of #proprietarysoftware firms) — is receiving more widespread condemnation; even the OSI has been bribed to become a part-time Microsoft outsourcer as organisations are easier to corrupt than communities http://techrights.org/2022/01/16/stealing-hacker-culture/

"Surveillance capitalism runs on Linux." https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/107609514153019722 sad, but true. #linuxfoundation mentioned a lot in this context, for #openwashing of this #surveillance http://techrights.org/wiki/Linux_Foundation
The #OSI tells us that it got over a thousand members, but that boils down to just people clicking a URL or a button http://techrights.org/2022/01/12/membership-in-osi/ #opensource #microsoft #openwashing
The sad 'evolution' of #gnu #linux : 1980s = community; 1990s = people who pretend the thing was created in Finland in 1991; 2000s = #redhat #suse et al. (i.e. GNU/Linux vendors). 2010s = #pentagon contractors in #clowncompting clothing. 2020s: #proprietarySoftware + #openwashing
#osi = #corruption and #microsoft #openwashing #lobbying etc. "Lindberg lobbied OSI directors privately to green-light the license, contrary to an approval process that's supposed to be carried out in public." https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/03/osi_cofounder_resigns/
The #freesoftware community is under attack by a cabal of new and "old guard" monopolies, cooperating among themselves towards THEIR shared interests. The biggest example of it is #linuxfoundation as their incubator of #openwashing and power broker http://techrights.org/wiki/Linux_Foundation
#OSI has turned into a corporate stooge (helping #proprietarysoftware monopolists with their #openwashing PR), just like the #LinuxFoundation • Techrights ⚓ http://techrights.org/2021/12/30/osi-as-corporate-stooge/ ䷉ #Techrights | ♾ Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/12/30/osi-as-corporate-stooge/
