Every time I call out the absurd interpretation of "Open Source" in this space in general, I get showered with downvotes and hateful attacks. One time someone posted their "AI mashup" project on reddit, that egregiously violated the terms of not only one, but several GPL-licensed projects. Calling this out earned me a lot of downvotes and replies with absolutely insane justifications from people with no clue.
No one cares. Not in this space.
- jeroenhd 2y agoAI fans don't seem to care much for copyright, unless it's their work being stolen (remember the people that got mad at "prompt stealing"?). Companies are more risk-averse, though, and hobbyists on Reddit don't have the money to do anything serious with this software.
- elpocko 2y agoNope. Most of the relevant software is OSS made by hobbyists. ComfyUI, llama.cpp, etc. For example, Nvidia is building stuff based on ComfyUI, a GPL-licensed application. My complaint is about people ignoring the license of open source software made by hobbyists. I disagree with your ignorant "AI fans" generalization.
