Good! I want to be able to trust and rely on homebrew, authorization, authentication, infra, os and other _crucial_ software. The bar should be really high and I appreciate the efforts of open source maintainers now more than ever.
That's exactly the problem with loaded words. People often use it to mean different things.
For example, in open source software, "open" has a different meaning than it does in "open door". It never meant that anyone could upstream their desired changes. It meant, and still means, that you can take the code and do whatever you want with it without legal consequences. You can still do this.
What's changed is the large volume of slop and garbage thrown at open source maintainers. When these are understandably rejected, people (or AI companies) get upset and complain about gatekeeping.
It’s sad, but also makes some sense.
Nobody wants to maintain someone else’s AI slop when they could do their own version of the slop.
