@techokami@woof.tech @marekfort@mastodon.online @Gargron@mastodon.social Every commercial piece of software has terms. Even open source. That MIT license? It’s the legal terms that govern your use of the software. Especially considering software that is hooked to an LLM is no longer just *A TEXT EDITOR*. It's connected to the internet. It can send your data elsewhere. It can receive data. All of that stuff requires legal approval. I totally respect if someone doesn't want AI all up in their business. If that's you, don't use a text editor with AI features. We all have options.
