A little too alarmist take to my liking, but it is nevertheless a good thing that he is calling others to join the lobbying (which he oddly calls "education").

While also GitHub seems to have done a decent job during the consultation, I'd take the genuinity of their position with a grain of salt due to the CoPilot fiasco. In fact, they are saying that "open source licenses disclaim all warranty, making explicit the expectation that any entity seeking to use or integrate the open source software bears responsibility to ensure its compliance with relevant laws". The pot calling the kettle black.

- samtho 4y agoBeing alarmist and pedantic about specific language of legal text is precisely what is needed to point out flaws. The only thing more terrifying than a governing body making laws about things they fundamentally do not understand is having the courts, with their own incomplete understanding, decide their own interpretation of them.
- jruohonen 4y agoAgreed, and that is also a good advice for those submitting responses to open consultations. Yet, Vaughan-Nichols certainly was not pedantic in this piece.
- SiempreViernes 4y agoI'd argue a small group of people on an obscure mail list defining things so as to best suit them is an even worse form of governance, despite its relative popularity in this forum compared to more standard methods.
