      FUTO’s The Open Source Definition

      Open source just means access to the source code. […]

      What is wrong with this company? How do you have the thought and then follow all the way through with it, that you need an own definition of a commonly used word? That’s just being obtuse and annoying.

      danb.me’s criticisms and tone are valid, but it looks FUTO has taken down their ill-advised license page and are using an unmodified AGPL.

      I’m struggling to assign malice here; Louis is a hardware guy, and not every software person is really up on what distinguishes free software from freeware. FUTO seems like a pretty small shop; I’d give them a pass on this one.
