Comment on Open-sourcing CORE One CAD Files Under the New Open Community License (OCL)
prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 3 days agoLike Open source software licenses changed over time to include some mechanisms to protect the software against exploitation. E.g. large scale use and no kickback in support for paying additional developers. I feel that this is happening here and the no compromise idealistic manifest from the beginning needs amending.

Those aren’t open source licenses, they violated point six of the open source definition opensource.org/osd

Then call them something else. They are here for a reason and so is the ocl.

They’re called “source available”, the issue is Prusa calling something open source that isn’t open source.

I feel like a term for open source with the exception of no commerical allowance is needed

I still accept the idea behind it as an open source idea. Use it, change it, own it. That might not fit into a more strict definition of opensource but I am okay with that while still calling it opensource. That’s what I meant by idealistic approach and realistic. Needed to change some aspects because they got taken advantage of, still kept the (to me) relevant parts to count as open source.
And believe me when I say that I am very passionate about opensource. Only run OSS and even bought a core one (which not as polished as myx1c that I am selling) to go back to my ideals.
