Deep dives

Bruce Perrens' vision for post open source

Bruce Perrens envisions a post open source era that goes beyond traditional licensing and focuses on corporate relationships with developers. His plan involves establishing a yearly compliance process for companies to gain the rights to use post open software. Perrens suggests transitioning from licensing code to having contracts, although this distinction is seen as dubious since licenses are essentially contracts. While Perrens acknowledges the need for better concepts in licensing and improving code distribution, critics argue that his ideas do not offer a clear justification for a separate post open source movement.
