@hugo, I also understood it as "almost" (also not a native speaker).

I am a long-term #KDEPIM user and recently read that due to progress in #SQLite’s performance #Akonadi is now defaulting to that DB on a fresh install.
A few days ago I took the chance and ran `akonadi-db-migrator --newengine sqlite` and it was both painless and I definitely see both lower resource consumption and the PIM suite seems much snappier too!

The annoyance at that time was that companies would either
1) actively avoid or ignore #FOSS, or
2) take it and ignore the license (i.e. piracy)
So several of us were trying to convince companies to
3) engage with FOSS on FOSS' terms both license- and community-wise, contribute back and be an active part of a healthy ecosystem so everyone can strive
It was about helping #FOSS, not imposing obligations.
...how and when that got misinterpreted in time, I dunno, would be curious to know.

The first time I heard about #FOSS and supply chain in the same sentence was when about a decade ago from Bdale Garbee (then VP of HP), who stressed that if FOSS somehow magically suddenly disappeared, the company would be in great existential danger.
He therefore likened FOSS to a “critical supplier” of the company with the intention that the company should treat it (at least) as serious and as nicely as it does its critical suppliers.

@Di4na, great post and I agree with the basic gist of it.
One tiny thing that bothers me in the narrative is that also most of the paid software licenses include an "as is" clause. Depending on the relationship and negotiations there may be some warranties and other obligations though, yes.
In any case, business should not be imposing obligations on (volunteer) #FOSS projects. They should contribute/support them.
