In this conversation, open source evangelist Javier Perez welcomes technology evangelist and CNCF ambassador Dotan Horovits to provide context for the biggest changes happening in OSS, discuss what a sustainable future looks like for open source, and explain what to do when companies choose to go not-so-open with their source code.
Highlights:
- Why open source shouldn’t be considered a business model
- The “disturbing trend” in OSS and why “nothing is written in stone” when it comes to open source
