Not sure why you tie this idea to my post. I never said that and I don't believe it because it's ridiculous.
Mainly from this:
Also, you forgot to mention how Cold Card used to be open source right up until someone forked his code and started a competing company. Now it's just 'source available'. I get the distinct feeling NVK is an enemy of open source. His motivation appears to be selfish; oriented toward his own profit instead of promoting freedom technology.
Labeling a guy who doesn't want his labor to be used by a competitor to launch a competing product as "an enemy of open source" is a hell of a leap.

NVK was all for open source when it brought a benefit to his business. Now he's against it because it brings competition. In addition, he constantly attacks his open source competitors. This is incompatible with the open source ethos. It's not a leap at all. Don't put words in my mouth pls.

I'm not sure what words you think I put into your mouth -- I quoted your actual words, and then you just did what I described you as doing. Regardless, you can think whoever you want is an "enemy of open source", I don't care. Go nuts.
But "open source" as a construct is a term that describes a host of licenses, and NVK is both within his rights, and within the normative behavior of the "open source community", to adopt a particular one of those licenses for his business. You don't need to like it, but those are factual statements.
