@aredridel as if copyright as a hack to open more sourcecode through the GPL has worked in the last 20 years. All I've seen in practice is that there companies will rather build shitty in-house replacements of GPL'd software than open any of their own source.
I am absolutely flabbergasted, as someone who wants everybody to get value out of their computational devices, to get them to do what they want when they want on their own terms, and seeing how LLMs facilitate exactly the kind of "a single html file with local storage application that i share with my friends" malleable software so often dreamed of, to then be "but i have copyright on this pedestrian piece of software that presumably is 'remixed' by LLMs so no." and then attacking everybody studying and using the tools as "hubris driven tech bros wanting to keep their toys" when no, I want everybody to play with my toys.
