Two years before bagging bribes from Microsoft the OSI published this: [PDF]



Of course it has gotten a lot worse since then. For example, consider this overt case of OSI lobbying for Microsoft in the class action lawsuit over GitHub Copilot (GPL violations). This is MICROSOFT funded. This is MICROSOFT staff. This is MICROSOFT propaganda. All this for MICROSOFT GPL VIOLATIONS. Hosted by a MICROSOFT-BRIBED OSI. They buy the OSI's platform and we know whose bank account nets those salaries.

Sometimes it feels like there's no greater foe or enemy to Open Source than the OSI itself (because of the misleading name, which complicates matters; it's a powerful lobbying instrument). It literally works against its original mission, as last witnessed yesterday.
