Show Notes
In this MonkCast with the Monks, we have mustered the analysts and run amok to discuss recent developments in the open source landscape, focusing on the NATS controversy with the CNCF, the Redis relicense, and the rise of the AGPL. They chat about the implications of licensing changes, the dynamics of community involvement, the sustainability of open source business models, and the contrasting situations of different projects like Linkerd and NATS. The discussion emphasizes the need for nuanced conversations around the value of foundations like the CNCF and challenges faced by smaller open source projects.
