Heh... HN has always been full of massive proponents of the OSI, with people staunchly claiming any software under a license that isn't OSI-approved isn't 'real open source'.

Now we're seeing that maybe putting all that trust and responsibility in one entity wasn't such a great idea.

We still have the FSF and free software, both predating "open source" and the OSI.
OSD is widely accepted in the community and I don't expect that to change regardless of what happens with AI definitions.

Plus we still have FSF's definition and DFSG.
