The consequence of all the abuse of the intent of open source licenses has just resulted in me not writing any open source code. I have a lot less issues with a code generator trained on GPl code that produces GPL code with the LLM being under GPL as well. Its the commercial licensing and paying for it that seems to breach the intent of these licenses to me.
I guess Microsoft has gotten what it wanted and has got to the extinguish stage of its plan for open source finally and all it needed was a chatbot.
- CaptainFever 2y agoJust to have a separate story, I started licensing my stuff as public domain after the AI stuff happened, so I can encourage the development of AI models without any restrictions. While I believe attribution (a requirement in MIT and GPL) doesn't make sense for AI because of its nature, the arguments just made me say "fuck it" and remove the attribution legal requirement altogether. It's still a good thing to attribute when it makes sense, though right now legally it's just too crazy for me to want to participate in this copyright regime.
