OSI Blog: Composed by Microsoft, Promoting Microsoft's Proprietary Software Again

Recent: In the Latest OSI Tax Filing (From the IRS), Filed 13 Months Ago, Only 4% of the Revenue Comes From Members (People, Not Corporations) and $252,702 Goes to Microsoft Projects (Propping Up Proprietary Software Monopoly)

Background: Meet the People Behind ClearlyDefined (Mostly or Clearly 'Microsoft Proxy'), Where Most of the OSI's Budget Nowadays Goes and Flows

One year after Microsoft 'bought' OSI, same year GitHub bought; openwashed; reduce autonomy of; cancer grows too; front group
Microsoft had it all planned. And now the OSI is technically dead, just like its elections (the corporations run everything).



Summary: The OSI's new (renovated) blog is still authored by full-time Microsoft employees, pushing proprietary software (GitHub) that the FSF and even SFC openly condemned. Today's OSI is a Microsoft-funded front group of Microsoft and it cannot fulfil the mission of the real (original) OSI because it is thoroughly bribed, corrupted from the inside, and thus fundamentally defunct, just like the "Open Source" brand (DRM).
