OSI Revisionism at 25

AS already noted in our daily links, as far back as yesterday (we planned to do this video 2 days ago, but aggressive attacks by Matthew J Garrett distracted us), the Linux Foundation is making the Web proprietary in a Microsoft venue, with Microsoft participation. The 'Linux' Foundation is not what it seems. But perhaps more glaringly we've started to see the Microsoft-controlled OSI attacking history and besieging minds. It's helped by various familiar faces and Microsoft-funded staff.
"How many Microsoft moles does it take to destroy an organisation? One. But Microsoft already has at least 3 inside OSI."The people who brought Microsoft to the OSI now say that "Free Software" is just about people wanting something cheap and the OSI is promoting Microsoft's proprietary prisons, saying they are "open" (openwashing). They want us to think that Microsoft violating the GPL is perfectly OK because "HEY HI" (AI) and they're joined by Microsoft moles who are bribed by both Microsoft and GitHub (i.e. Microsoft twice over), citing Mat Asay as authority on "Open Source". Others do the same (people who called for removal of Richard Stallman from the FSF, which he had founded almost 40 years ago). Asay brought Microsoft to the OSI after he had attempted to work for Microsoft (job interview). Asay rejects Open Source (he uses Apple and works for proprietary software companies, he has no technical background) and should not be regarded as "authority" in this area, as the video above explains. Perhaps more disturbingly we see the Microsoft-sponsored Nick Vidal using the OSI's bogus anniversary (the term "Open Source" predates OSI) to promote Microsoft's lobbying agenda. Microsoft is attempting to dominate an event exploiting the "Open Source" brand, pushing GPL violations under the guise of "HEY HI". OSI is, at this point, thoroughly infiltrated and bribed by Microsoft. How many Microsoft moles does it take to destroy an organisation? One. But Microsoft already has at least 3 inside OSI. We've named them before and the video provides some more background. ⬆
