GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 weeks agotechnically according to NSPM-7 any FOSS is terroristic by nature because it’s anticapitalist.
that means if you have contributed to FOSS at any time, you are a terrorist. technically.

I know this is not a real discussion :D
But I don’t think FOSS is inherently anticapitalist. It’s just not late stage capitalism. There are plenty of commercial FOSS projects.
Sure you could compile them from source or download somones executable. But especially companies often want convenience, customer support and LTS versions.

There are, of cost, open source licenses that don’t allow for commercial use without a license.
Also, there are lots of industries that need guarantees about the software, and even CC0 open source software doesn’t come with those guarantees; those come from a commercial use and support contact.
