Big tech companies (the money behind the Open Source Initiative) have done a few things.

1. They co-opted the free software movement and made it more business friendly.

2. They convinced people that Open Source is pure and software that isn’t Open Source is unclean.

3. They convinced a bunch of developers that their definition of Open Source that was specifically crafted to protect business interests is canon.

4. They convinced a well meaning subset of those developers to police the other devs and pressure them to release their software under big tech approved licenses.
