The title of the forum post is: "Open Usage Commons: a warning"
But that doesn't convey what the content is all about. The post is highlighting concerns raised in a blog post[0] announcing "a new kind of open source organization".
The title of this submission here in HN is taken from that blog post to give some context for the whole situation. I believe that it's a better title than simply copying the title of the forum post.
I saw this issue raised in a Mastodon post[1] where the poster said:
> Looks like Google is trying to gain even more control in the open source world. Don't ever give away your rights to them.
In these times, and under these circumstances, would you trust the Open Usage Commons when it appears to have such close ties with the organisation whose motto was once "Don't be evil", then changed it to "Do the right thing"?
