Isn’t open source itself a woke concept?

I would think the opposite. Woke is all about centralized control over thought.

Open source is all about decentralization of power. Open source is hard to censor and control.

“Isn’t open source itself a woke concept?”

like others say, it is impossible to create a monopoly like MS did. While the companies and Devs in ALL technology tend to lean left/woke, open source is one of the more painless forms that cannot really force that wokeness on anyone like the rest of the tech industry does.

Wanted to add,

Every one of our audio books that we release are all open source. Just posted a few days ago about Calvin Coolidge’s autobiography.
