Summary: Exploitative operations at Sirius ‘Open Source’ and sheer dishonesty should not be too shocking. The company's management is basing its existence on a lie and old information (official documentation) helps reaffirm this.

THE company I left at the start of the month isn't what it claims to be. Sirius ‘Open Source’ isn't about Open Source anymore and the deeper one looks, the clearer it seems that the so-called 'founder' (what we've referred to him as) isn't even the founder. I was told years before I joined the company that he had been misrepresenting himself to the media, which caused a stir and almost a lawsuit.

The video above covers the latest relevant posts, starting with the history of the company founded in 1998. Added below are redacted screenshots, showing only addresses in Greater Manchester, not the south-east of England. ⬆
