Linux distros accused of falling short on open source claims
Original: These Linux distros claim to be open source, but they're barely even close
A tech publication argues that several Linux distributions which market themselves as open source fall well short of that standard, with licensing practices or proprietary components that limit genuine openness. The piece names the offending distros and explains where their claims diverge from the open source definition, prompting debate among users about how strictly the label should be applied.
Why now: Debates over what genuinely qualifies as open source software are a recurring flashpoint in the Linux community whenever a high-profile critique is published.
