 6:40 AM *  

The free and open-source software (FOSS) movements have always been
about giving freedom and power to individuals and organizations;
throughout that history, though, there have also been actors trying
to exploit FOSS to their own advantage. At Configuration Management
Camp (CfgMgmtCamp) 2026 in Ghent, Belgium, Richard Fontana described
the "exploitation paradox" of open source: the recurring
pattern of crises when actors exploit loopholes to restrict freedoms
or gain the upper hand over others in the community. He also talked
about the attempts to close those loopholes as well as the need to
look beyond licenses as a means of keeping freedom alive.
