Note that the law currently exists (see section 22757.3(c)(1), https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB942), these companies are trying to get the law fixed #AI #OpenSource #OSI

😬 We can trust companies that exploit #FOSS & violate copyleft for a living to “fix” laws about #OpenSource!?!? 🤮

While the revocation provisions are slightly problematic, they could be easily made congruent with #copyleft. But, obviously that's not the goal here: the goal here is to make it more difficult for users to get what they need to figure out what's going on with their software.
