This is the same Tim O'Reilly who made a fortune selling manuals for Free Code software under strict, ARR copyright. Who ran conferences platforming the predatory neo-aristocrats tech bosses he's now telling us to be worried about. Who did all manner of scummy things to promote his own financial interests, and those of tech corporations, while openwashing everything he did.
As with Kara Swisher, O'Reilly is a rat leaving a sinking ship.
