If anyone is moving the goal posts it would be FUTO. They were the ones who put arbitrary restrictions in the license.
I hate to break it to you but but both Open source and libre software have definitions that Grayjay fails to meet. FUTO now calls the license "source first" which is a bit better as it is at least unique.
Also influencers are a cult. You will fight to defend whatever your favorite idol says without thinking for yourself. I also disagree with people who worship people in free software such as Richard Stallman. I agree and and disagree with Stallman just as I agree and disagree with Louis. You should be critical of anyone who proclaims themselves to be a source of truth. Louis welcomes criticism but he also refuses to accept any disagreement. Power corrupts no matter how good the intentions are. I think Louis has done a lot of good but he is not a saint
What the fuck are you on about? I don't follow Rossman, I don't even like him. I do like his product though. Dude has some weird ass libertarian leanings that are "eyebrow raising", if I'm being generous.
The fucking OSI does not get to define open source however it wants. Open source means the the source is open to the public. FULL FUCKING STOP. The OSI co-opted the term open source, and people like you fell in line. What is it with people like you and purity testing software? That's fucking weird.
I'm fucking sick of turbonerds with toxic opinions and zero coding skills telling developers what they need to do with their own code. The fact that they can't code is more or less irrelevant, but it highlights how much more bullshit their stance is. If you want to control a license then write some fucking code and you can license it however the hell you like.
We do agree in one key area though, "influencer" is a cult, or something very close to it. This whole parasocial relationship bullshit is actively harming society at large. You can thank YouTube for fucking these things up btw. Other services have followed, but it's YouTube's (Google's) insatiable lust for power and monopoly that have crippled society and possibly irreversibly damaged it.
