Our stuff is AGPL3 licenced and if this present trend continues we might just switch to MIT so at least the little guys can take advantage of it the way the big guys can.
- MidnightRider39 7mo agoI think the whitewashing of code through LLMs is still unproven if it actually works for a reasonably complex project and also it’s still kind of legal Wild West - I think no one knows for sure how it will work out.
- lrvick 7mo agoThere are piles of examples of it working for complex projects and libraries now especially if they have good test suites your clone can pass. Also they are even getting quite good at reverse engineering binaries. Anything not released as FOSS, will have a FOSS copy made. There is no moat and the reign of restrictive licenses on software is effectively over.
- MidnightRider39 7mo agoCan you share any of these examples? I haven’t been able to find any…
