Time to IPO before the rest of market catches on.


And moving to the next vendor that hopefully does a better job of staying out of the public eye...


That justification isn't as commenable as you frame it.

The same biological impulse fuels the rampant nepotism and open corruption we seem to selectively whinge about online these days.


> Fair Source and Enterprise

Yet another bait and switch plays out - build clout on the goodwill of open source and execute the plan at the opportune moment.

I may understand the decision but I sure as hell don't respect it - cashing out and prioritizing your family, a very human thing to do, at a glance it almost even seems noble.


Great work! A window into one of the most important universe we have created.

Any chance you would be willing to share the source code?


Sure, it's public; https://github.com/frasermarlow/middle-earth-map


This marketing strategy is getting tiring, every model is more dangerous than the next...

Playing on fear instead of the bright future you are opening up for us all is not the feeling I would want to leave the public with


Curious to see if this ends up increasing the userbase and TikTok's foothold in American culture.

this appears to be source available not open source


Damn thats sucks. At least their sync server is opensource


That condition is not in the spirit or commonly accepted definition of open source.


“Open source” tends to be a spectrum.

For example, many consider GPL to be a great OSS license, but it’s restrictive enough that some BSD projects try to avoid it.


It tends to be a spectrum, but the various, sometimes very different licenses adopted by the OSI still have something in common - the open source values laid out in the Open Source Definition. [1] SSPL did not comply with this requirement, as it discriminate against specific users or use cases. I think it is in the interest of everyone to draw the line somewhere.

BSD would not be OSS by this definition, as it has no clause against discrimination of people.

OSS is IMO a very subjective term. There is a massive gray area surrounding open-sourcing derivative works, etc. and other stipulations.


Open source licenses might be a spectrum but it's likely that the legal reality isn't. Like the famous double split experiment there's probably no spectrum and only a couple of buckets of legal validity.


As far as the buckets go, I still believe there is a pretty large spectrum.

BSD vs GPL vs LGPL are pretty dramatically different, and there are many in-between that might satisfy the definition of “open-source” at face value.


Why not?

Kubernetes for sure. When anyone asks for a good place to get started with understanding k8s - I tell them the docs should be all you need, then go get hands on.

The stuff is world class.
