• [$] Free software needs free tools

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wed Mar 4 06:40:08 2026

    One of the contradictions of the modern open-source movement is
    that projects which respect user freedoms often rely on proprietary
    tools that do not: communities often turn to non-free software for
    code hosting, communication, and more. At Configuration Management
    Camp (CfgMgmtCamp) 2026, Jan Ainali spoke
    about the need for open-source projects to adopt open tools;
    he hoped to persuade new and mature projects to switch to open
    alternatives, even if just one tool, to reduce their dependencies on
    tech giants and support community-driven infrastructure.
