Been thinking a lot about what comes after “free software” & “open source.” Both terms were coined when the tech industry (& the world) was a very different place. I think we’ve outgrown them.

Things not included in either concept include: - community building - accepting contributions from other people - ethical use of software - distribution mechanisms - governance - use of paid vs free labor

I'd argue that a lot of this _is_ understood to be captured by the term "open source"... it's important to differentiate between open source software/licenses vs. development practices vs. community

(OSI could do much more to educate on the topic and it's something I'd like to put more resources into)

...and I was about to argue that much is incorporated in "software freedom"! I have been also using "ethical technology" & "digital autonomy". Our issues are big ones & they are inextricably intertwined with so many others in any fight for appreciable control & safety of our tech
