Proprietary software masquerading as open source—what has been termed fauxpen source—is toxic. It's an intentionally deceptive hybrid that seeks to give its proponents the best of both worlds—the positive vibe and broad distribution of open source, together with the commercial leverage of proprietary software.
What it is is false advertising and fraud.
Don't stop where the ink does.
