“The free and open-source software (FOSS) movements have always been about
giving freedom and power to individuals and organizations; throughout that
history, though, there have also been actors trying to exploit FOSS to their
own advantage. At Configuration Management Camp (CfgMgmtCamp) 2026 in Ghent,
Belgium, Richard Fontana described the "exploitation paradox" of open source:
the recurring pattern of crises when actors exploit loopholes to restrict
freedoms or gain the upper hand over others in the community. He also talked
about the attempts to close those loopholes as well as the need to look beyond
licenses as a means of keeping freedom alive.”
