    In case you're wondering, the #Python zeroconf project is now busy asking people to agree to let them relicense the project from the #LGPL chosen by the original author to make corporations happy, and happily #AI #copywashing the code written by people who don't agree. Of course they also happily ignore what "derived works" are, and only care about lines of code.

    I'm looking at Repology, and I think most of the distributions and other downstreams have rightfully boycotted #Python #chardet #copywashing. Of course, there's the possibility that some of them are simply out-of-date, though.

    So far chardet-7 is distributed by #Chromebrew, #CondaForge (not on Repology), #Homebrew, #KaOS, #OpenIndiana, #openmamba, #Ravenports, #Spack and #T2 SDE. Shame on you!
