Just in time for #WWDC next week 🎉 Tart now has a new home under OpenAI organization and a new @fairsrc license attached. Next week we'll migrate release process for 3.0.0 version and will start integrating new macOS APIs. github.com/openai/tart

Fair Source closes the communication gap that leads to open washing — and gives commercial projects a safe and honest way to share code.
Open washing happens when the clearest communication to one group is also miscommunication to another group.

Is Fair Source the better COSS? 👀
Wrapping up six months of reflecting on and unpacking my thoughts on the future of commercial open source: keygen.sh/blog/whither-open-… Buckle up — there's some spice here. 🌶️

Big companies stealing code? Not on our watch. We ❤️ open source, but as a small team, we needed a way to share our work without risking exploitation. That’s why we chose the Functional Source License (FSL) by @getSentry. Here’s how FSL protects our innovation while staying open: → 2-year grace period: Free to explore, use, and modify. No commercialization allowed. → Collaboration without exploitation: Use the code, just don’t compete with us. → Simple and fair: Encourages openness while protecting small teams like ours.

⚡ Proud to announce vsr - the vlt serverless registry: vlt.sh/serverless-registry It's licensedFSL-1.1-MIT @fairsrc but you can also get in touch to have us host/manage it for you. Excited for what we can build together/in the open. Can test it out yourself: $ npx -y vltpkg/vsr – at Kilkenny, Ireland

The "OSI compliant good, non-osi- compliant bad" rhetoric is too simplistic. You can be compliant yet very proprietary (eg thin open core, or customer contracts contingent on not sharing code like Red Hat), just like non-compliant licenses can be fairly generous (eg fair source)
