FOSS is not broken and the log4j2 fiasco is not FOSS' fault. The system is broken.

Real reason - because I say so…

a good summary of the underlying issues

The more you use permissive licenses (mit, bsd, php, etc.) the more rights you lose on the code/software you have made.

pretty fair rundown, the only exception being i think they’re too generous with this

for a for-profit corporation, it is not abuse but playing by the rules—optimal utilisation of resources to generate profits

profits cannot and should not only be measured in $ value, it should always also be measured in value to humanity.

everyone has this responsibility, and the more power an entity has, the more this responsibility should be met
