56 +The old binary distinction (proprietary vs. F/OSS) is no longer enough.
57 +Licenses are still very much necessary, but no longer sufficient. We
58 +need a richer taxonomy to describe what's out there in 2021, and inform
59 +potential users of their exact rights and benefits. Beyond the license
60 +the code is released under, *how* the software is produced actually
61 +matters. Open source that is closed to contributions, or under a
62 +copyright license agreement, is very different from openly-developed,
63 +openly-governed open source.
64 +\\I have been advocating for going beyond licenses for a while[4]. I now
65 +think the OSI is the best place to drive that fight for the future of
66 +open source. If elected, I'll to bring my experience of Open Source
67 +project management and governance, as well as my experience of Open
68 +Source Foundation boards, to the OSI. I intend to drive the discussion
69 +on evolving the OSI scope to go beyond open source licenses and into
70 +taking a more active role at classifying the various types of open
71 +source, highlighting the benefits of each.
