Extending from topics around open source licensing in this recent conversation with Adam Jacob and this recent conversation with David Cramer, we’re now at a point where Bruce Perens (OSI co-founder) has quit the OSI saying “we’ve gone the wrong way with licensing” regarding the recently drafted Cryptographic Autonomy License (CAL).

The debate over whether or not to approve the license, now in its fourth draft, has proven contentious enough to prompt OSI co-founder Bruce Perens to resign from the organization, for a second time, based on concern that OSI members have already made up their minds.

“Well, it seems to me that the organization is rather enthusiastically headed toward accepting a license that isn’t freedom respecting,” Perens wrote in a missive to the OSI’s license review mailing list on Thursday. “Fine, do it without me, please.”
