サクラエディタのGREPが遅くて、AIと自作したら chardet に何度もハマった話 - Qiita

はじめに GMOコネクトの星です。 大規模なJavaプロジェクトの横断調査で、エディタ標準のGREP機能が重くて作業が止まる、という状況に陥っていました。「ちょっと文字列の出現箇所を確認したい」だけなのに数十秒待たされ、しかも条件を変えてやり直す、というのを1日に何度もや...

Can Agentic AI Coding Tools Finally End Copyright For Software While Re-Inventing Open Source?

Most of the discussions about the impact of the latest generative AI systems on copyright have centered on text, images and video. That’s no surprise, since writers, artists and film-makers feel ve…

I'm looking at Repology, and I think most of the distributions and other downstreams have rightfully boycotted #Python #chardet #copywashing. Of course, there's the possibility that some of them are simply out-of-date, though.

So far chardet-7 is distributed by #Chromebrew, #CondaForge (not on Repology), #Homebrew, #KaOS, #OpenIndiana, #openmamba, #Ravenports, #Spack and #T2 SDE. Shame on you!

Folks asked me about #chardet #LGPL situation. @corbet (on @lwn) published https://lwn.net/Articles/1061534/ it; everyone should read that.

Afterwards, take a 👀 at my comment on chardet's issue tracker:
https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/355#issuecomment-4145369025

TL;DR: I'm leading an effort at @conservancy to analyze this situation. The results will be published. It will take a long time — for good reason. Meanwhile, anyone using chardet commercially should call their lawyer.

I thought Malus.sh was a bit of a bad joke. https://web.archive.org/web/20260303054215/https://malus.sh/blog.html But now, Chardet, a tool we actually use, has been "liberated" from LGPL using #VibeCoding tools: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/blob/7.3.0/README.md#whats-new-in-chardet-7

Why genAI means the end of copyright for software and the re-invention of open source

Most of the discussions about the impact of the latest generative AI systems on copyright have centred on text, images and video. That’s no surprise, since writers, artists and film-makers feel very strongly about their creations, and members of the public can relate easily to the issues that AI raises for this kind of creativity. But there’s another creative domain that has been massively […]

@gaby_wald Attendons encore un peu que la même chose soit possible avec un décompilateur : le problème sera le même avec les logiciels non ouverts… 

I don’t know if open ssourceb licensing is dead coz of #claude code translation, but wait until the same trick will be possible with a disassembler, and closed source software may face the same problem

The whole #chardet drama is such a shitshow!
Not only did Dan Blanchard changed the license from MIT to a BSD Zero Clause license but also closed the issue of FOSS lawyer Richard Fontana himself as well as locked both remaining open issues regarding the changed license. /1

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.
