Post #3896985

Thought experiment. Linus tells us that the #Linux project uses #opensource because it results in "better technology". Does that mean that if some superior closed source kernel sources became available Linux would merge it? Clearly, since Linux has never been a "social warrior" project, it shouldn't matter if the code is pirated, since technical merit is paramount. If we say no, how is that different from using copyright encumbered #LLM sources? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/CAHk-=wi4zC+Ze8e+p3tMv8TtG_80KzsZ1syL9anBtmEh5Z40vg@mail.gmail.com/
