"(...) Policy officer @manfredzielinski at the ministry @minbzk was present at this year's #FOSDEM : the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting.
"... the highlight I've talked to with the founder and with the core group of #Mastodon... I told them what we are doing within the Dutch government... its own server that is managed by the Dutch government, namely social.overheid.nl."

I saw a #FOSDEM video about redhat limiting access to the source code[1]. Legally or not, restricting software isn't ethical. A powerful company like IBM has made this move solely for profit.
They don't care that they sabotage what they call "opensource"[2] by making it invalid. CEO's only look for short-term gains.
The real problem is at the very end of the video. The sponsors of FOSDEM (including Redhat). Big tech must get the hell out of our communities even if that means huge limitations.
