Just got an email alerting me to this initiative: https://web3nz.xyz/ - on the front page, it talks about being an "open source initiative" and then has an "open source disclaimer"... none of which really explain what they mean by "open source"... I'm very puzzled. 'Web3', generally, is mega-hype about "strong IP" exploitation and NFTs, right? So first impression is this is looking fairly #fauxpen... How does WEB3NZ define "open source", I wonder...

@krisbuytaert oh love it! Will use! Thanks! Also #fauxpen in general to talk about shenanigans like Datadog‘s attitude to… well, my data!

Last week the Open Source Initiative (#OSI) stated that the Server Side Public License (#SSPL) is not an Open Source license but "#fauxpen".
