We're probably just talking past each other. The reason GNU comes off as religious is because they frame the whole issue in terms of human rights and moral imperatives (it is wrong to hide the source and we have the right to share). OSI prefers to frame it in terms of capabilities and transactional relationships (it's a win-win!).

The OSD is compatible with GNU licenses; I've read it before. That doesn't change the reality that by reframing the issue from rights to abilities, the OSI created the very environment where Winamp can be released as "open-source" while making forking illegal.

If you want a good look at OSI's commitment to the OSD, take a look at their Open Source AI initiative: https://opensource.org/deepdive https://opensource.org/deepdive/drafts/open-source-ai-defini...

They are directly complicit in propagating the lie of open-source AI. If you can't inspect how it was made, including the actual training the data, you don't have the ability to understand how the AI was made. The choice of the lumber is part of how a chair is made.

Without the "I have the right to know what my computer is doing", there is nothing backing point 2 of the OSD. Without "I have the right to share", there is nothing backing point 1.
