Open Source Initiative
About
As steward of the Open Source Definition, we set the foundation for the open source software ecosystem.
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a California public benefit corporation, with 501(c)3 tax-exempt status, founded in 1998.
My take on OSI-approved Open Source is that it is harmful in gate keeping some approaches to open source.
