I agree with that concern. From my perspective, a reason that
incentives are aligned with FOSS is that both the current
authors/maintainers and also their downstream users/developers can
build, use and improve upon the same software.
I think that the OSAID rc1 draft propses weakens that alignment, by
implying that it's OK for the authors/maintainers to omit part of the
input for a software system.
