“Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software”

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 17, 2026

As Dr. Richard Stallman once put it

2 hours ago we became aware of a site called "Open Source Won't Save Us". It's at opensourcemissesthepoint.com and at the bottom it says, under "Special thanks": "Dr. Roy Schestowitz and Mrs. Rianne Schestowitz, for fighting for truth in free software reporting."

Special thanks

I don't know who runs this site and at the top it says: "The Open Source Initiative runs on corporate sponsorship. The FSF fights for your freedom."

The only “open source” you can trust is the part that was already free software. You never needed the O. You needed the F.

Further down it says: "The only “open source” you can trust is the part that was already free software. You never needed the O. You needed the F."

True words. █
