I may not get this quote quite right so paraphrasing: Zoe Khan <https://zoebkahn.github.io/> examined the problem of integrating expertise to create complex systems, and software (unlike plane construction) basically never does this, and key expertise is just ignored.
Zoe was talking about CS generally, but she could just have easily being describing what's going on in #FOSS specifically — & particularly FOSS licensing & #copyleft.
A reminder to everyone that if you're awake (still middle of the night in USA), you can watch @undonecs gratis. Sadly it's a proprietary software streaming service, but the organizers worked really hard to organize the event. If I come next year, I'll volunteer to help do FOSS streaming next year.

This conference is covering topics that everyone should hear if you work in tech. Check it out!
Little did I know #LinuxFoundation & its wealthy cronies were the reason my gratis upgrade didn't clear. #LF's got an event starting tomorrow in Amsterdam. My seat mate told me.
It's funny — as I head to #UndoneCS to talk about how LF funds research that distracts us from real #FOSS &#copyleft — I sit in the cheap seats while the capitalist sleep in flat bed seats up front.
It's quite the metaphor.
The second liberation: AI is the final frontier of Copyleft
Copyleft gave us the right to be free; AI gives us the power to be free. The scarcity of programming knowledge is evaporating, turning the "freedom to fork" from a legal theory into a functional reality for every user.https://www.maffulli.net/2026/03/16/ai-final-frontier-of-copyleft/
