P.S. it is hilarious that the fucking US Military is raising this concern, considering that they’re one of the biggest consumers of open source software even though most open source developers would absolutely hate that
- golergka 3y agoI don't like the article and agree with the parent comment, but there's absolutely nothing wrong in using open source software according to its license. And I don't think there's any evidence to support your opinion on what open source developers would love or hate.
- bbor 3y agoFair definitely can’t cite anything more than anecdote! And yes, they’re not doing anything illegal. The OSS devs I know are generally motivated by things like “contributing to human advancement” and I think “helping spy satellites and assassination drones function better” is a little-discussed application that at least I find dubiously connected to that motivation. Not to mention the fact that OSS is very international, and opinions about the us military abroad are naturally… a bit more mixed. But again can’t really win an argument here either way, so sorry if I offended! Definitely just my anecdotal take
