Nope.

I'm expecting an open-source community to adhere to the intent of open-source, which is to provide software in a freely redistributable way to that puts users first in contrast to traditional Berne-convention-based IP approaches focused on author protection & remuneration above user utility.

Any community placing authors as dictators of the distribution of their work at the expense of users are not aligned with open-source in intent.

That's a perfectly reasonable stance if you have no interest in open-source: everyone is entitled to release closed-source software if they prefer.
