Earlier this month: Open Source Initiative (OSI) Continues to Cover Up for Microsoft’s GPL Violation Machine (Spiced Up as ‘HI’)
Moments ago:
And not too shockingly, OSI and ‘Linux’ Foundation nowadays get promoted by many of the same people who promote Microsoft. Not a coincidence at all. Follow the money.
Summary: The Linux Foundation (LF) has joined Microsoft’s anti-GPL agenda, yet again; As can be seen only hours ago in an LF- and Microsoft-aligned site of LPI, Microsoft-centric lobbying is everywhere, including Linux Foundation ‘Europe’; this is promoted by Frederic Lardinois, a longtime propagandist of Microsoft (about a decade already), in a site that amplified marketing/advocacy for GitHub just earlier this week; they all eat from the same palm (Microsoft) and promote proprietary software

Stefano Maffulli defected. He is paid about $150,000 per year for this defection.
Summary: The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is so obscenely corrupt that it literally helps Microsoft violate the GPL and makes excuses for it, as part of a Microsoft-funded series; Stefano Maffulli is nothing but a Microsoft-funded shill, occupying a leadership position in an organisation that was supposed to call out Microsoft
Update: And if that’s not bad enough, they’ve just published another page about it:
And then updated another:
It’s like the priority at OSI nowadays is Microsoft cover-up, shielding it from prosecution while it is attacking Free software.
Update #2: A few hours ago they did it a fourth time (in 2 days!). Notice the date. This was 3:55 GMT on 12/11/2022.
OSI, funded by Microsoft, is constantly writing about “AI” to make it seem OK that Microsoft attacks Free/Open Source software under the banner of “AI”.

Published a short while ago in the Open Source Initiative’s Web site:
Summary: As noted last week, the OSI’s “voices of Open Source” is sponsored by proprietary GitHub/Microsoft to push anti-Free software misinformation, in effect helping the attack on Free software

Hours ago: (“voices of Open Source”… sponsored by proprietary GitHub/Microsoft)
Summary: The corrupted OSI is once again doing "HEY HI" (AI) nonsense sponsored by Microsoft, which borrowed the term “HEY HI” to 'perfume' GPL violations at unprecedented scale

OSI Became Voice of Microsoft: Today’s Open Source Initiative (OSI) Speaks for the Company It Used to Fight
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: Open Source Initiative (OSI) blog posts, podcasts and public talks are just Microsoft propaganda wrapped up as “OSI” (buying the opposition‘s voice to legitimise oneself)
THIS site recently mentioned several mischievous moves by the OSI. See "The MICROSOFT Initiative (OSI)", "Stefano Maffulli, Informally a Microsoft Employee, Salaried Partly by Microsoft", "Open Source Initiative Controlled (Infiltrated) by Microsoft GitHub: Microsoft Bribes OSI to Justify GPL Violations Under the Guise of 'AI', Even Writes the OSI's Material", and "Open Source Initiative is a Shameless Megaphone and Advocate for Microsoft’s Proprietary Software (GitHub). It Also Encourages Copyright and GPL Violations (Plagiarism Disguised as ‘AI’)."
We wrote dozens of blog posts about this in the past. We published long videos to explain the situation. OSI mostly responded by attempts to censor if not defame us (the defamation helps them with the censorship attempts).
A longtime contributor, figosdev, recalls that the OSI’s own (co)founder publicly warned about the OSI going wrong only a year after it had been established. Now, many years later, opensource.com and opensource.org are both going south. Microsoft hijacks both of them to distort the narrative and basically lie to the public, using the platform (and brand) of a former rival. █

Recent: Open Source Initiative Controlled (Infiltrated) by Microsoft GitHub: Microsoft Bribes OSI to Justify GPL Violations Under the Guise of ‘AI’, Even Writes the OSI’s Material
The Open Source Initiative’s (OSI) Web site has become a shrine to Microsoft; it has in effect been bought (weeks ago Simon Phipps privately revealed to me the financial arrangements with Microsoft)
Red Hat/IBM letting the Microsoft-sponsored propaganda get “air time” in OpenSource.com today
Summary: The Open Source Initiative (OSI) takes a lot of money from Microsoft in exchange for not only abandoning the OSI’s mission but actively attacking this mission (the above are from today)
OpenSource.com and OpenSource.org are now nerrated by the company that’s attacking Open Source.
