hugovk, 10 months ago to opensource New (to me) word: open-washing https://toot.thoughtworks.com/ "The act of claiming something is open (without proprietary licensing) when it does not meet all the criteria of openness." The word dates to at least 2014: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/openwashing Here's a 2011 example of the practice from Nokia, I expect it's much older: https://www.theregister.com/2011/04/06/nokia_confirms_symbian_not_open/ #OpenSource #OpenWashing #NewWord
