Just because it’s legal and allowed doesn’t mean it’s not off putting.
Personally, I have no issue with them making their own internal fork, but then blogging about their thing without contributing it back leaves a little bad taste. If it’s so good, then contribute it back, since they benefited from the volunteers.
- dist-epoch 8mo agoYou can't have it both ways. As a library author choose MIT to encourage commercial usage because companies are afraid of GPL, but then complain that companies are actually using it in a MIT license way without contributing back.
- thn-gap 8mo agoLicense it GPL, and it will be fed to a model as training data to recreate it copyright free anyways.
- orangecoffee 8mo agoTraining falls outside of copyright concerns because of fair use, so proprietary or free is orthogonal. This is how the world is currently trending.
- dkersten 8mo agoI can find it off putting regardless. Especially since I’m not the person who released it under MIT license.
