The Open Source Initiative (OSI) Might Get 'Forked' Soon

So it looks like it's actually underway already, with the implicit blessing of the originator of the DFSG and the Open Source Definition (he co-founded the OSI and no longer trusts the OSI).

What if we told you that the person who pushes Rust into Ubuntu (to replace GNU) comes from the Army, where he worked on mass surveillance, according to himself?
