#gplviolations — Public Fediverse posts

@dl9et I mean... forking a #gplv3 licensed software, giving it another name and publishing the sources alongside the compilated code is fully legal, but forking it, publishing compilates and ignoring the GPL with statements like "it's my work, I have all rights on my code so I can keep it closed" or something in that style... no, buddy, that's not how the GPL works.
(Relying strongly on an #ai being trained on, probably, masses of GPL-licensed code lets this sound even more... interesting.)

TBH I lost track on what the state of it all is now...

🤖 Ah yes, because we all know the best way to address GPL violations is to re-invent Darwinian evolution for computer code. 😂 Who needs legal action when you can just brute-force your way back to source with #algorithms that have the attention span of a hyperactive squirrel? 🐿️
