@yoasif@mastodon.social it is not different. They are stronger now because too much people support them. But honestly, I never felt like people were really supporting about free sw.
It was a fashion that companies powered because it was beneficial for them. Now they don't need it anymore.
See the pattern?

@z3r0@gts.maverick-hq.org No, I think you are missing that putting your GPL code out there means that it will be transformed into code for multitudes of other projects, both "open" and closed. That is new, since it wasn't possible before to have a machine automatically transform stolen code to best fit the problem you have - previously, you had to be able to find the code and understand it well enough to integrate it. Today, the chatbots do it with a prompt and virtually no effort.
