It's funny, whenever spreaders of "embrace extend extinguish" (#EEE) FUD come into my inbox, I tell them that the "extinguish" part of EEE has never worked against open source.

And they almost always reply, "Oh, we don't actually mean 'extinguish'. We mean something else."

Then don't use the word "extinguish" -- because extinguish means extinguish.

If you don't mean "extinguish", then you're clearly moving goal posts. Or worse, you're re-defining a word ("I don't really mean extinguish") to imply something happened when it actually didn't. Don't use the word "extinguish" if that's not what you actually mean.

You're not helping open source by spreading false EEE narratives. You're hurting it.
