Oefrha just said that his, and probably yours, code is not worth that much if splitted into functions and commentary blocks. The value of software comes from its whole purpose, not your clever email-validation-regex you are so proud of.

Then why use OSS licenses in the first place? Let's just copy each other's code without attribution.

  I am totally for this! Will bring everyone forward in general without costing the society as much as this copyright bs.

    Either that or people will stop posting their code publicly.

How many lines of code was the Oracle v Google case? 9?
- oefrha 4y ago
  Just so happens I think the case is bullshit. You would have a point if I supported Oracle.

    Your lack of support of them doesn't change the facts.

>code is not worth that much if splitted into functions Some algorithms in scientific computing require lots of effort to implement as nice, reusable, performant function. Those functions often more important than whatever the whole is doing because it's what most other people will be interested in using.

Says you. If it’s all just disposable code, WHY ISNT MICROSOFT TRAINING COPILOT ON WINDOWS AND OFFICE CODE?
- notamy 4y ago
  Because that code isn't publicly available, just like every private repo on GitHub, and any other company's/person's proprietary/private code?

    Again, if I put code in a public repo on GitHub and don’t include a license that allows it, you cannot copy that code. It doesn’t matter that you’re able to access it.

      Cannot is a strong term. Telling me there may be consequences would be more accurate.

      I can claim fair use and short of an injunction there's nothing you can do to stop me.
      - ranguna 4y ago
        Claiming fair use is not a fix all card you can play like that, there are a lot of nuences for that to hold on trial.

      I'm allowed to read it and learn from it. To distill the core concepts and recreate it.

Maybe I’m the worst programmer in the world. It doesn’t matter. My code is still my code, and if I don’t explicitly license it such that you can copy it, you’re not allowed to.
