| schestowitz | One person, and one whom you spoke to earlier this month, told me the same thing last week (over IRC). He said that this article could use more background, which I then provided. I am aware that some articles lack sufficient background, which would in turn necessitate a lot more writing and I typically link (cross-referencing where possible) to avoid repetition. Pardon the insufficiency of background; I will add the missing bits | Sep 30 22:45 |
| schestowitz | below, in-line. I will try to refrain from posting many/any links as I know you'd then need to fetch each in turn from a server. I will attempt to be 100% factual and punctual. | Sep 30 22:45 |

| schestowitz | > that I don't know. | Sep 30 22:45 |
| schestowitz | This is correct. The target audience is people who follow the site over RSS, so it's an ongoing story. Wiki pages tie together themes and topics. | Sep 30 22:45 |

| schestowitz | > What is ClearlyDefined? | Sep 30 22:45 |
| schestowitz | ClearlyDefined is itself a bit enigmatic and it's not easy to find the complete chain of ownership using whois. ClearlyDefined helps track licensing information of code and projects. | Sep 30 22:45 |
| schestowitz | > Is it a program, or a service? | Sep 30 22:46 |
| schestowitz | I believe it is both. | Sep 30 22:46 |
| schestowitz | > Wnat are the criticisms against it? | Sep 30 22:46 |
| schestowitz | ClearlyDefined is closely controlled by Microsoft, it's biased towards GitHub (obviously), and one might expect it to be copyleft-hostile. Like Black Duck, whose purpose was to discourage businesses from touching copyleft-licensed code... | Sep 30 22:46 |

| schestowitz | I'll confess I've just wasted no less than 15 minutes trying to locate a "tweet" (I dislike Twitter) in vain, one which was "pinned" for nearly a year (top of timeline, persistently). I failed to find it as I forgot the person's name. From memory, to paraphrase, this widely circulated and controversial tweet said that not only should the FSF kick you out but also kick out (from the FSF) everyone who still supported you. | Sep 30 22:46 |
| schestowitz | The person wasn't some 'low-level' employee but a very high-level person. Ironically, Salesforce was also a top sponsor of CopyleftConf, along with Google and Microsoft. Copyleft-hostile companies funded the event. The person who set up the event... is now the GM of the OSI. | Sep 30 22:46 |
