@dl9et I mean... forking a #gplv3 licensed software, giving it another name and publishing the sources alongside the compilated code is fully legal, but forking it, publishing compilates and ignoring the GPL with statements like "it's my work, I have all rights on my code so I can keep it closed" or something in that style... no, buddy, that's not how the GPL works.
(Relying strongly on an #ai being trained on, probably, masses of GPL-licensed code lets this sound even more... interesting.)

TBH I lost track on what the state of it all is now...
#gplviolations

@silberhaeckse @zopyx @noybeu Wir haben eine Antwort \o/

In den (geklonten) Repositories auf #Github ist #Rocrail-Software lizensiert unter #GPL, aber mit modifiziertem GPL-Lizenztext: Es steht zwar draußen GPL drauf, aber es ist nicht GPL drin.

Bezieht man hingegen eine aktuelle Version von der Rocrail-Webseite, liegt dem Paket gar keine Lizenz (mehr) bei.

Behält nicht unter GPL lizensierte Software stets ihre Lizenz bei? 🤔

#Softwarelizenzen #GPLviolations

🤖 Ah yes, because we all know the best way to address GPL violations is to re-invent Darwinian evolution for computer code. 😂 Who needs legal action when you can just brute-force your way back to source with #algorithms that have the attention span of a hyperactive squirrel? 🐿️

Decompiling the GPL violated Linux kernel using Evolutionary Algorithms

TLDR: We want to decompile a binary code, into the byte equivalent C code. We look at this from an optimization viewpoint. We have a generated C code(or AST) and we want to optimize it so when we compile it, it is equivalent to the binary code, byte by byte. And I think it’s better to use a population based optimization metaheuristic to do this. Such as Genetic Programming. Requirements to understand this post The idea I’m writing about is very deep. You need to know the current problem we have about companies violating GPL and not releasing the Linux kernel source code used in their devices. Then you need to know what an Algorithm is. What a Heuristic is. And what is the difference between them. And you also need to know what an optimization problem is. And what is our goal in these problems. After that, you need to know in this very specific optimization problem, we are not looking for “good enough” solutions unlike most other optimization problems. We are rather looking for the “perfect” solution, if we can find one.

How do you best enforce your copyright as a small developer against #GPLviolations from a large company?
If you knew of a #GPL violation which the copyright owner felt unable to enforce, when would it be appropriate to try to stir up public fury to shame the company into doing the right thing?
