Open source means Amazon pillages you and takes your margin. Period.
That just isn't going to work anymore.
The hyperscalers know this and they want you to keep building software this way. They'll write a managed version of your thing and collect all your money.
Fair source would be "customers can use this in an unlimited way as long as they don't sell a managed version".
That's what we need to do. Carve out the ability to make money for the originators doing the work.
Open source has turned us all into serfs working on giant kingdoms we don't own.
NOTE ALSO, the OSI has been so corporate captured that their definition of open source AI is not at all open. You shouldn't trust them at all.
I find it odd that lots of people talk about the OSI being corporate captured but I don't defer to them as to what 'counts'. I couldn't care less what the OSI does or approves of. Any software that grants users the four freedoms is Open Source—it's the same criteria to be Free Software which is decidedly not at all corporate captured and hasn't ever changed. The very first freedom of Free Software the freedom to run it for any purpose. It's not some small detail.
