Talk:Post open source

Movement?

Luis Villa suggested that the lack of licenses might be an emerging movement, but did not conclude that it was. Indeed, nobody so far has produced any data to suggest that this is a new phenomenon. The Register even quotes Richard Fontana as suggesting that license-free code sharing may be as old as Usenet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noah Slater (talk • contribs) 19:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because this is an important development that has a significant bearing on the sharing of knowledge and code, and has the potential to destabilize existing neo-cultural artefacts including Wikipedia itself. This movement should be studied and the motivations understood so that the underlying issues can be addressed.

By deleting the article, you would be suppressing an early warning about an impending problem.

Yeah. But it still isn't notable. --LlamaAl (talk) 17:51, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found this Infoworld source which mentions "Post Open Source". That's enough to stop an A7, I think, while I look for some more. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:05, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article also makes reference to the term: He's more than a bit worried about the so-called "post-open source" thinking embraced by programmers who prefer releasing code without a license. It's a retrograde move, Tiemann says, one that threatens to undo years of progress. WilliamKF (talk)
