It's good of the author to extend Futo the benefit of the doubt in this way.

The very first paragraph of their definition is: "Open source just means access to the source code.". If they are really that unfamiliar with the software industry, then their code must be a horror show. Personally, I think they know exactly what they are doing.

They clearly know when the open source definition by the OSI starts by stating the exact oposite with almost the same wording

Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code.

I had forgotten how the real OSD starts. That is horrifying. But then, I suppose if you're going to engage in this kind of disinformation, why not go all-in?

I suppose.

Not gonna lie but I expected better from them since Louis Rossman is involved with it :c
