RE: https://hachyderm.io/@petrillic/116930044480581453 Like everyone, I am still thinking about what all of this means (and seeing everyone's comments is edifying). Still, I wrote up my thoughts around this weeks ago and it has only gotten worse since then: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2025/12/17/AIs-unpaid-debt-how-llm-scrapers-destroy-the-social-contract-of-open-source.html Is open source/free software over? It is really starting to feel like if people try, they won't be offered any protections - it will totally be a situation where we are just doing free labor for companies.

    @yoasif@mastodon.social Is open source/free software over? Wow! So pessimistic 🤣 Just use GPL-like licenses and derivates. Most big companies avoid those licenses because their "viral" nature. End of the drama
