Initiative on Sponsorship Forwarding
[[toc]] It's not a secret that open-source projects are now a critical part of almost every software project. While most open-source projects are maintained by volunteers, the sustainability of these projects becomes a big concern. The recent xz/liblzma vulnerability accident is a great example that shows the importance of open-source projects and how severe the problem could be. There are multipl

オープンソースとは何か？ Open Source Definition(オープンソースの定義) 逐条解説書 v1.0, 2024年1月22日 佐渡 秀治 Open Source guy オープンソース(Open Source)とは、米国の公益法人であるOpen Source Initiative(OSI)が策定した「オープンソースの定義」(Open Source Definition)で書かれた条件を満たすライセンス及びそのライセンスが適用されるソフトウェアのことである。このオープンソースという用語は自由ソフトウェア(Free Software)の代替として企図され、広く一般へ自由なソフトウェアを広めるためのキャンペーンのための用語として人為的に策定されたが、その後のオープンソース・ムーブメントと呼ばれる熱狂期を経て、紆余曲折ありながらも現在では世界の様々な領域においてオープンソースは当た
The Open Source Sustainability Crisis
Let’s get the XKCD reference out of the way, shall we? Okay, now let’s talk about the Open Source sustainability crisis. The purpose of this post is to define terms.

Introducing the Functional Source License: Freedom without Free-riding Sentry started life in 2008 as an unlicensed, 71-line Django plugin.

On August 10, 2023, HashiCorp announced that after ~9 years of Terraform being open source under the MPL v2 license, they were suddenly switching it to a non open source BSL v1.1 license. We believe the BSL license is a poison pill for Terraform which threatens the entire community and ecosystem, and in this blog post, we’ll introduce OpenTF, our plan for keeping Terraform open source—forever.

I’m Now a Full-Time Professional Open Source Maintainer
or, “Holy shit, it works!” Last May I left my job on the Go team at Google to experiment with more sustainable paths for open-source maintainers. I held on to my various maintainer hats (Go cryptography, transparency tooling, age, mkcert, yubikey-agent…), iterated on the model since September, and I’m happy to report that I am now a full-time independent open-source maintainer. That means I spend

How to talk to your company about sponsoring an open source project - Human Who Codes
Open source sustainability is a topic that is just starting to get the attention that it deserves. So much of the technology sector is run on software that can be used for free without any further obligation.
