Open Source Resistance
Open Source Resistance (ossresistance.com) launched as a resource to document and track the growing trend of projects and companies abandoning open source licenses. The site features a curated list of notable projects that have switched to proprietary or source-available licenses, including details on the original license, new license, date of change, and the stated reasons. As of May 2026, the list includes projects like Terraform (now BSL), Redis (now SSPL), and Elasticsearch (now SSPL). The site also provides commentary on the implications for the open source community, such as reduced trust and fragmentation. A key consequence is that developers can now quickly check if a project they rely on has moved away from open source, enabling them to assess risk and consider alternatives. The site is community-driven and accepts contributions via GitHub.
Helps developers track license changes and assess project sustainability.
