Proposal to achieve consensus for the 1.0 release

I fully agree that a pure mandate for open datasets cannot be the end result, for exactly that reason.

Great, we agree on something. Let’s focus on that.

@kjetilk

But I also have concerns that the current definition will bring Open Source into strong disrepute as it will bring security holes, backdoors and poor regulability.

You and I have the same concerns, too. I don’t have a crystal ball though so I don’t know exactly what will happen in the future. It’s easily predictable though that delaying the release to hold more debates over a topic we’ve debated for 2+ years will never let us move forward.

We can only release 1.0 based on the RC text and watch the space carefully, be ready to change and adapt. It’s the same thing that happened with the OSD and the FSD, by the way (freedom 0 was added later, when RMS realized it was needed, and the OSD had 9 points, not 10.)
