I just downloaded and have been loving this. It loads pretty quickly, navigation is intuitive, and I’ll finally stop forgetting that Nebula exists because it’ll all be in my one big subscription feed.

Since I’m new to moving over to open source, I want to ask the veterans: is this as incredible as it seems right now, or is there something I’m missing?

    It’s the definition defined by the organization that coined the term open source.

    The concept existed before then, but that hardly matters when we are talking about the specific term.

    They are the authority on the matter.

    I do not mean free software as Stallman means it, when I am talking about Open Source, I mean exactly what the OSI means, because that is the widely accepted form of the term.

      You speak very confidently of things that happened long before you were born. If you actually read the article, I wouldn’t have to spell this out for you. OSI was founded in 1998, and “open source” was a term coined in the 1980s.

      I could form the Spaghetti Source Initiative tomorrow and claim that all open source code is now called Spaghetti Source, and you wouldn’t give a shit about that, would you?

      Stallman was a champion of open source software and free software (which were always two different things) long before OSI formed.

        Maybe you should form that spaghetti source initiative.

        You’d have some authority to speak about what spaghetti source is then.

        I did not say that free software and open source software are the same thing.

        You brought free software into the argument.

        This license that the OP software is using probably isn’t even free software, though.

        Though, I personally don’t really care too much about it.

        Open source has a definition and it’s the OSI definition.

        I hope any other argument you bring is an actual different definition other than „it doesn’t have any“. Because that is a net negative point to make.

        If you don’t like the OSI definition I’d hope you bring a competing one. Maybe as part of your spaghetti source initiative.
