Hoo boy. I'm not naming names because I don't want to fan the flames, but the knives are out:
Events around #xz have rightly emboldened volunteer-driven open source projects to take their hyper-wealthy downstream users to task.
Wild to think that many large companies have hollowed out their open source program offices (OSPOs), the internal teams who have been working on addressing these resource issues.
I fear this will get worse before it gets better.
