Unfortunately, yes. Also, talking about open source. With the AI, I saw a couple of posts about people trying to rebuild an open-source project in a different programming language and change the license. Which kind hurts the original open source project
- sg1234 4mo agoOSS has always been vulnerable to this. AI is accelerating, but changing the license doesn't guarantee adoption. It's not just because someone forked a project and changed license that suddenly everyone will start using that tool/library.. And the comparison to the music industry is fair, but the key difference is that in Software we had a Free/OSS movement for a while, and it did not kill the industry, on the contrary, it benefited from it.
