I am convinced this technology was made by evil people, for evil people. The sheer audacity shown by this company's pathetic attempt at destroying open source. It now only shows how we've failed as a society:
-"Is your legal team frustrated with the attribution clause? Tired of putting "Portions of this software..." in your documentation? Those maintainers worked for free—why should they get credit?"
-"Does your company forbid AGPL code? One wrong import and suddenly your entire proprietary codebase must be open sourced. The horror!"
-"Tracking licenses across hundreds of dependencies? Legal reviews taking weeks? Third-party audits finding "issues"? What if you could just... not deal with any of that?"
-Some licenses require you to contribute improvements back. Your shareholders didn't invest in your company so you could help strangers.
Some of the great claims they make on their website.
The people who run AI businesses should not to be trusted, not because of any consumer issue but their absolute lack of humanity and disgusting attitude. I will personally be shunning anyone around me who even gives a single fucking dime to these cockroaches. This will not have an impact not only on free software but literally any software you use, it'll make the world of tech less free and we will become more dependant on closed source software. I suggest the open source community wakes up before it's too late.
EDIT: To those who're calling this out as "muh satire"
