Buckle up the one, and only Peter Zaitsev is back, talking to us from the State of Open Con in London! Peter gives listeners insight into which conferences he attends, how to get chosen to speak, how to grow the adoption at an open source company, shares his thoughts on licensing, and more. He also answers questions like should the government regulate #opensource? Should maintainers be sponsored and funded with public money?

Avi and Matt explore the trend of companies dropping open source licenses for non-osi approved licenses. We cover the recent decision to move Akka to the BSL, dropping the popular Apache 2 license. Do we need a new set of open source licenses? or do we need to stop hijacking the term open source for this new type of software? Welcome to episode 1 of the Hacking Open Source Business Podcast!
