It's a derivative work and stripping the license violates it. Why do people repeat this stupid corporate propaganda?

- lolinder 2y agoI'm really confused—are you talking about AI training? I'm talking about corporations building systems on top of FOSS. Also, why did you feel the need to create a throwaway for this comment?
- immibis 2y agoMIT explicitly gives the right to sublicense. That means you give certain rights to Alice, who gives fewer rights to Bob. Bob isn't allowed to give away copies of the software Alice gives her, because Alice, being a smart businesswoman, made sure Bob's license agreement is a proprietary one. She's not violating MIT, because she put your name and a copy of the MIT license in notices.txt, but the license doesn't actually apply to the software.
