      i know, because off this I named what is FOSS and what is OSS. But even FOSS, when it include APIs, also FOSS, from Big Brothers, it isn’t really FOSS, it’s only because the traditional definition, same for “Open” Source as such. This is because I said that the traditional definition need a revision.

          People are running Microsoft VsCode deploying via Microsoft github to Vercel or Render, and consider themselves an open source advocate

          No, but eg, Chromium has a BSD 3 license, that means simplified do what you fucking want with it at your own risk, exept if you want to put the original Chromium author on your shabby fork or derivated products, you need a permission to do it. Even Gecko has a more restrictive license (MIT, also very liberal but need copyright mencion if you use it)
