Post-Open Source, also called Post Open Source Software (POSS), represents an emerging movement among developers (in particular, Open Source developers) where, in reaction to complex compliance requirements of the license/permission culture, more code is being posted into repositories without any license whatsoever, implying an extreme disregard for the current license regimes, including Copyleft.
"POSS" was first used by James Governor, founder of analyst firm RedMonk, who reportedly said [1] "Younger devs today are about POSS -- Post open source software. F*** the license and governance, just commit to github".
The motivation for a no-license approach varies widely, but is perhaps primarily on account of the overheads involved in maintaining the permission/license regime. It is notable that the well-known Free Culture activist, Nina Paley released her critically-acclaimed film, "Sita Sings the Blues" in a CC0 license (ie., placed it in public domain) in January 2013 [2].
