you do realize this is a walmart situation right?

You do realize that it was an open-source project that went full-on closed source evil corporation, right?

No it wasn’t. Their license was completely to prevent corporations like Amazon from sucking open source dry. Like they said, they hoped OSI would recognize it as an open source license.

If they wanted the OSI to recognize it as open source license, why didn’t they request a review?
