Subject: [clug] Poul-Henning Kamp on the future of FOSS
Message-ID: <CAAahdHPN3Vx57VqrS7Madw-RiB8CRzSWxL7qHSzvxQY-rUkjAg@mail.gmail.com>

For a change, something that isn't government IT being totally
dependent on US megacorps.

Poul-Henning Kamp's latest and last "Bikeshed" column for the ACM.
Starts with a shorter section about AI tooling, then a longer section
about the future of FOSS.

OK, he does link the future of FOSS to the desire not to be totally
dependent on US megacorps. But he also has interesting opinions on the
distribution model and future maintenance as well.
