how would you know if she was or not? you obviously don't know her, and osi doesn't publish a list of its individual members

but if she did stop contributing her $50 a year at some point in the last 26 years, how is that relevant? she founded it, in the sense that she was at the meeting which founded it. the osi was specifically the initiative for which she proposed the name

[lowkey]

According to the following source she was not a founding member and she has never been a formal member, though she did invent the term open source [1]

"Peterson was not a founding member of the OSI. The OSI was founded by Bruce Perens and Eric Raymond, who were instrumental in promoting the term "open source" after Peterson introduced it"

"Christine Peterson is not currently a member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI), nor has she ever been a formal member of the organization. However, she played a significant role in the open-source movement by coining the term "open source software" in 1998."

that's not a source, that's an ai bullshit text generator, and the actual sources it's referencing don't back up the assertions it makes, as you surely know, since reading them only takes a minute or two. they're all just slight paraphrases of her post that i and others have linked in different comments

regardless, the osi's membership roster is irrelevant to your assertion, 'the FUTO license is open-source according to the original definition of open-source as coined by the author of the term,' which it is not, and which futo doesn't claim it is

the lack of integrity you are exhibiting is staggering. stop posting defamatory lies
