I believe the word "originated" has a very precise meaning.

Having been annoyed by people who asked me to change license several times, I have no sympathy for these requests.

To be fair it is a pain in the ass… but i'm sure having an AI do it would make things worse :D

It is ignorance to call them apple projects when they really aren't. The copyright notice of webkit is full of emails like @kde.org… wonder why it's not entirely @apple.com?

Please stop questioning people's choice of license. If you don't like it, you're entitled to not using it.

webkit is a fork from KDE, so "initiated" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. llvm also existed from before although apple supported the development. I was curious if apple had actually started any FOSS project.

It's also why Germany did the death camps. Originally their plan was just to force them to leave but most countries were not allowing them to do so.

Apple stores also do repairs, so I'm not sure what's the point of this comparison.

I think the issues you're having on your "corporate linux laptop" are due to the "corporate" part. I'm also having a lot of issues on my corporate linux laptop (such as dbus crashing) that just do not happen no

I chose to do it for free to help other people. And picking a MIT license does the opposite.

But why should I work for free so that companies can fire my fellow human beings?

True, the problem is that AI ones are 500x longer and at a first glance look fine, so they waste much more time. Moreover a human contributor can learn and do better in the next PR, while the AI won't, unless the prompt is changed, but
