Abstract
This talks takes a look at the recent "nearly open source" licenses of Elastic, Mongo, the Commons Clause, and others, and discusses this evolution in the (not really) open source licensing space: are they really required for economic sustainability of the project? Do they prevent free-riding? What impact do they have on open source as a whole: are they fragmenting our community?
