> Open Source is not the absolute social good we delude ourselves into thinking.
Historically the term "Open Source" was specifically developed to divorce the movement from the "social good" ideas that were promoted by Free Software.
That's where I stand. I don't do Open Source to make the world better. I do Open Source because I believe that makes my software better.
I'm not an activist. I'm an engineer. Nothing wrong with activism, all the power to the people doing it, but the licensing I chose for my code doesn't take it into account.
