The blatent use of "AI" to strip copyleft and claim that obvious derivatives are "reimplementations" has begun. This must be fought. Start filing license violation bug reports and abuse reports on projects like this.

@dalias it’s like the arguments for why treating LLM code and its proponents as actively malicious are all coming from the LLM camps actions! Really hard to claim this was done with anything but active hate of free software as the motivator, since there’s no valid reason to want MIT over LGPL…

@maxine There are valid reasons to want MIT over LGPL, but there are not valid reasons to try to forcibly relicense other people's contributions in a way that gives you more power without their consent.

@dalias I’m broadly anti anti-viral licensing and pro-corporate licensing, which is largely how I see the MIT/BSD style licensing side of things, personally, but I think that comes from a great disappointment at free software not actively styling itself as a pro-labour movement reclaiming tools from capital.
