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.

I agree making it more prominent is a good thing. But characterizing some projects as "free as in labor costs" is definitely not something I'd like to see happening.
It's be nice to have, like, low level crypto / security infrastructure be built without any companies or govts having leverage. That's what I was thinking there.

(also, I'd say that "no paid labor" does NOT mean zero labor costs--there's no such thing-- it just means the workers foot the bill themselves)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Well, i think it is naive to think they will not have leverage if they are not publicly paying for it.

Sure, fair. Still, coupled with transparent governance, I'd say there's hope.
