Yes, I know. And endless strife.
SX separates #FOSS from the movement of people that creates it. FOSS is code/software + an open license. Period.
Under SX, where solution development involves software creation, FOSS is the end of the supply line. FOSS software is a SX artifact. Its only purpose is to serve the formulated solution that was the reason to start programming. And that solution in turn is only meaningful to the extent it fulfills people's needs.
Including the creator, if they need sustenance to continue their good work. This is the crux. It isn't there for FOSS creators, its an inherently unsustainable field.
Separating FOSS software from those creating it allows focus on healthy processes, that do not burnout their participants and they leave.
Here SX defines #SOSS, Sustainable open social systems..
