@marcel @helma @molly0xfff Let’s be clear though: there is still a mountain of difference between, say, an AI company training their proprietary, commercial model on MIT-licensed code (perfectly legal) and doing so on AGPL-licensed code (breach of license). Let’s not abandon the tools we have. Just because they’re breaking the laws and contracts that exist today doesn’t mean we should abandon them for future ones that they may or may not be bothered to obey. You don’t let a thief define what does or doesn’t constitute theft. You enforce the law. That said, I realise how utterly naïve that sounds as we stand mired in technofascism. So maybe what we do is destroy the looms.

@molly0xfff @marcel @helma Isn’t it moot anyway? The basic truth of it is that billionaires and trillion dollar corporations can do whatever the fuck they want and we can all just pound sand. (The odd Luigi, notwithstanding.) Laws do not apply to these assholes in any meaningful way. But, hey, I’ll still go on licensing my code under AGPL like an idiot anyway, telling myself it matters.
