db0Y Combinator is being criticized after it backed an AI startup that admits it basically cloned another AI startup | TechCrunch
raoul[He cloned] another AI editor … covered under the Apache open source license [and] slapped its own made-up closed license … which Pan admitted was written by ChatGPT.
Who gives a shit, rigth?
Apache explicitly allows this. I don’t get why OSI bros are endlessly surprised by this.
SoyweiserI’m a little bit in the camp of ‘it might be legal, but that doesn’t mean it is ok’. So I get why people are annoyed. Also copying a whole project and then slamming a different license on it and going ‘jobs done’ very much fits the promptfondler vibe, so im not mad, more of a ‘lol, of course they did’ thing. But that is me.
