We have also determined that "open source", by itself, isn't working. The problems created by the Tech Oligopoly are getting worse. I know FUTO will fail if we abide by the OSI's definition. I'm actually not even sure if the OSI's goals align with our goals given how the Tech Oligopoly influences their decision making.

Hence we have to go our own way even though we love and are allied with open source advocates: [The Source First Definition](https://gitlab.futo.org/eron/public/-/wikis/The-Source-First-Definition).
