●● Duly Noted: Microsoft Front Group OSI (Nowadays Funded to Lobby for Microsoft’s Proprietary Agenda) Wants Us to Stop Talking About Freedom

Posted in Deception, Free/Libre Software, Microsoft, OSI at 1:58 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Yes, let’s focus on “code available” alone, hosted by Microsoft’s proprietary prison (notice how OSI is paid by GitHub to promote GitHub, rather than ask people to leave it)

Image: Stefano Maffulli yesterday: I've been saying this for many years now: saying “free and open source software” makes no sense. Today the proof that it generates confusion at the time where we need extra clarity; This was sponsored by Microsoft; Half of the OSI's money (his salary) now comes from Microsoft OSI chief Stefano Maffulli yesterday

Citing this from Simon Phipps:

Summary: The OSI is deeply compromised; If they bothered talking to people (and also politicians) about Freedom instead of ‘Open Source’, we’d actually get somewhere (other than Microsoft’s GitHub, which is proprietary)

The OSI won’t speak for us, so make sure you do (Gemini address).
