'''Post-OpenSourceopen source''', also called Post"post Openopen-source Source Softwaresoftware (POSS)", is a 2012/2013 noticed movement<ref>[https://opensource.com/business/14/8/interview-michael-tiemann-red-hat How to think like open source pioneer] by Michael Tiemann (055 Aug 2014)</ref><ref name="infoworld"/> among [[software developer]]s, in particular [[open-source software]] developers. The interpretation was that this is a reaction to the complex compliance requirements of the [[software license]]/[[permission culture]], noticed by more code being posted into repositories without any license whatsoever, implying a disregard for the current license regimes, including [[copyleft]] as supporter of the current [[copyright]] system ("[[Copyright reform movement]]").
==History==

In 2004 [[Daniel J. Bernstein]] pushed a similar idea with his [[License-free software]], where he neither placed his software ([[qmail]], [[djbdns]], [[daemontools]], and [[ucspi-tcp]]) into [[public ___domain]] nor released it with a [[software license]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040622043020/http://qmail.org/not-open-source.html "qmail is not open source"] -– an article published by Russell Nelson, OSI board member in 2004</ref> But, with end of 2007 he dedicated his software in the [[public ___domain]] with an explicit [[waiver]] statement.<ref>{{cite web
