Sinking in Debt

Summary: In order to better understand what's happening at Sirius ‘Open Source’ one must properly examine publicly-available financial disclosures, which are obligatory; annual reports show a company that despite shrinking every year is rapidly falling into debt that it can never repay
THE clientele of Sirius and the ethics of the company have been getting worse. I could no longer keep my mouth shut and at the start of this year I decided that I would leave. In its usual fashion (as of late), the company resorted to bullying and intimidation (including efforts this past Monday to censor this series). If anything, this reinforces the need for transparency.
Sirius ‘Open Source’ still uses the term "Open Source" in its name, but it's rather misleading. The company rejects Open Source for its very own use, never mind clients'. Sort of like the
Linux Foundation, which
actively abandons Open Source and moves to proprietary. This foundation will be the subject of our next post.
