You're speculating on the reasons #SCOTUS denied cert. There is nothing in their denial that supports your argument.

The big picture stakes are high (of course). Focusing on a year-old case as if it actually tells us something new merely because SCOTUS denied cert is just a mechanism for spreading FUD.

Here's a full analysis of the entire DC Circuit Ruling:

@soller I'm relying primarily on hard-work, regular research, and constant vigilance, not luck and not FUD.

It is not time to panic.

I urge folks to read what #SFC has published on #LLM's & #AI

The biggest problem we have is the funding gap between those of us trying to save #copyleft & those who are creating the problem.

We'll need less luck and be able to more easily apply the other skills I mentioned if folks support #SoftwareFreedom Conservancy.
