Why is any informational discourse regarding anything not strictly OSI-style open source immediately removed by moderators in this community? How can we expect people to educate themselves through censorship instead of public discussion? I'm looking for an open source licensing strategy for my own startup company and discussing the do's, don'ts or even perception of different licenses and strategies seems highly important to the community to me. I could understand if it was actively promoting something 'bad' or wouldn't mind having clear tags or disclaimers that underline what is or isn't strictly OSI but it feels a bit too rigorous right now ๐Ÿ˜•

That would be my last resort, indeed. I just want to try open discussion first.

I generally don't agree with censorship but when people try to argue something is OS but it ain't, it looks like bad faith behavior at that point

My comment got removed because I provided a reason why it was decent product. I guess in bigger context it all blends and ain't nobody gos time to figure out who is a good faith actor anymore
