Louis is Louis Rossmann. I couldn't easily (quick web search) figure out what FUTO is. Video is 16 minutes and starts out good. I might watch the rest later or get the transcript.

Edit: aha, https://futo.org/about/what-is-futo/ .

I cringe slightly and trust the FSF more about this type of thing.

Futo is just the logical conclusion of the Open Source community, CLAs and source available licensing. They do donate to actual FSF licensed software projects and do fund some Open Source developers but in no way will they give up any rights for the software that they sell to their customers.

So their target market is Open Source users who don’t care about software freedom.

re: sony changing their deal with you because someone else changed their deal with them, for any lawyer worth their salt this should be a walk in the park. since the days of roman law the principle is that your obligations with party A don't influence your obligations towards party B.

sony is free to change the deal for future users, but the deal you made with sony is/should be the same as the day it was made.

enter regulation capture and doing away with even the pretense of rule of law. everything that follows is of their own making.
