It's not clear what exactly the "legal action" is based on this github link. My pure speculation is Anthropic's lawyers have come up with a liability story boiling down to OpenCode helping end users violate the Anthropic ToS (i.e. tortious interference with contract).
- paxys 7mo agoA vaguely threatening letter is usually all it takes
- Cthulhu_ 7mo agoDoesn't even need to be threatening, a notice of "this thing you're doing is in violation of our terms of service" should be enough... although I suppose that can be construed as threatening already.
- 0x3f 7mo agoI haven't used OpenCode but if not using Claude is existential then why back down? Set up limited liability somehow and just let it play out.
- TRYEXCEPT 7mo agoSometimes, it's just not worth the effort. Seriously would you rather: A) Get invovled in a lengthy back and forth, potential legal proceedings with a billion dollar company. or B) Listen to the message being sent, be pragmatic, and then get on with building things.
- 0x3f 7mo agoDepends if it's existential, like I said. If my whole company depends on X and replacing it is intractable, there's not much other choice. Having looked at the landing page though, seems like they can just go with other models and it will (largely) be fine, yes.
