Later on free software inspired movements such as [free culture](free_culture.md) (shortly after the year 2000) and the evil [open-source](open_source.md) [fork](fork.md) (1998, a malicious response of business, a kind of "free software" minus ethics). Sister organizations to the original FSF were also established outside the [US](usa.md), notably FSFE (FSF [Europe](europe.md)) and FSFLA (FSF Latin America) in 2001 and 2005 respectively.
Sadly around 2010 (aka the year when everything started to go to [shit](shit.md)) the "open source" wave was already overshadowing free software. This was really a part of the great societal [downfall](collapse.md), the time when dystopian ultracapitalism finally got to finishing off the last remnants of ethical values in society.
Unfortunately around the year of our Lord 2010 (aka the year when everything started to go to [shit](shit.md)) free software slowly gave way to the sinister "open source" tsunami which it would eventually get completely overshadowed by. This was really a part of the grand societal [downfall](collapse.md), the time when dystopian ultracapitalism finally got to finishing off the last remnants of ethical values in society.
**By 2024 free software is dead** -- yes, [FSF](fsf.md) and a few other software "activists" are still around, but they don't bear any significance anymore, the free software movement disappeared just like hippies disappeared with 1960s. FSF has become just an email spamming organization supporting lesbian [rights](rights_culture.md) on the Internet, and those who truly believe in free software form a community that by its size is comparable to such insignificantly small groups as [suckless](suckless.md) for example. Everything is now "[open $ource](open_source.md)", which only means one thing: it is hosted on [GitHub](github.md), and doesn't at all imply free code, available code, non-malicious features or even perhaps such a laughable thing as pursuit of freedom. Corruption, politics and [free market](capitalism.md) have finally killed the free software movement, [open $ource](open_source.md) prevailed exactly as it was planned by capitalists at the meeting in 1998, and it has now redefined even the basic pillars of the four freedoms (partial openness, [fair use](fair_use.md) or just source availability is now practically synonymous with "open source") -- just like for example "thou shalt not kill" was removed from Christianity because it wasn't convenient for the overlords -- and by this the fate of technology is sealed, free software seems to have only postponed the [capitalist disaster](capitalist_singularity.md) by a few decades, which is still a remarkable feat. { It's been pointed out to me that even some project that call themselves "free" or "libre", such as "Libre"Boot, are in fact breaking the rules of freedom now, for example by including proprietary blobs. ~drummyfish }
