I didn't edit anything. I did choose the wrong word, though. Comply, not copy.

So, by definition, you did edit it to change the typo.

>So, by definition, you did edit it to change the typo.

their comment still says "copy". the comment you are replying to clarifies that they meant to type "comply", not copy.

since the wrong word is still there, 'by definition' they have not edited it.

What a load of crock. FOSS licenses were obviously written in the spirit of sharing with humans . Some later licenses made the license less amenable for sharing with corporations because some authors didn't feel like they were being treated fairly. Some authors today have similar feelings about their code being used by Gen AI. It is perfectly fine for authors to want to place restrictions on how they want others to u…

> FOSS licenses were obviously written in the spirit of sharing with humans. That may be true, but I don't think it's obvious. What don't I know about the history of OSS?

That means they're not complying with the license terms. Which would be stealing. Like I said it would be.

Copyright violation is not theft. Your effort to create something that can be effortlessly copied conveys to you no property. Society deems it beneficial to grant a time limited monopoly on copying it to spur innovation.

You wouldn’t steal a car!

Close your source if you don't want it to be read by LLM

That's not how licenses work, Papermark is AGPL

I agree. It's a sarcasm of the new reality. What is copying vs writing from scratch? The line is blurred now, non-existent. You can ask an LLM to re-write any open source to a degree where there is no definite way to say that it's a derivative.

You edited your comment while I was replying, and merely copying the license does not cover many other possible restrictions.

I’m old and I don’t recall FOSS being about truly free, truly open, just not for some categories of use.

In fact I seem to recall FOSS advocates denouncing licenses that put limits on who could use the software or for what purpose. This “it was always only for humans” take is new to me.

It's nearly word-for-word the content of the tweet. Right at the top. It isn't misleading unless you literally don't even bother to open the linked content. Just ban users who comment without reading, I think that would go further to keep the quality of discussion high. The number of bots/trolls responding to the title without reading the content and missing the point entirely is astounding, honestly, and I don't thi…

It’s an intentionally misleading title, using “you” to imply that the reader is guilty of theft. An honest title would be “Corgi didn’t vibe code it, they stole Papermark’s AGPL code”. Sure, people should read links, but when a writer posts ragebait for engagement, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

You’re giving me too much credit if you think i was being sensationalist and trying to make it more clickworthy, i couldnt succeed in that if i tried

I was mostly fighting the title character limit

Folks... read the actual tweet. They literally didn't vibe code it - they copy-pasted another project.

I remember a few cases when asking an LLM to do something in the early days yielded not only the code but an author and a COPYRIGHT license.

Naturally LLM technology has moved on since then. I don't remember any recent word for word reproductions of a copyright license.

There are a lot of people lauding the technology though because it occasionally one-shots a wildly impressive example of something which...already exists.

Yo! Open Source Software works within copyright law. Your software should comply with the OSS licence you are forking/redistributing from. If you don't comply, OSS freedoms are void and it defaults back to being copyrighted material for you. Comply with licences. And enjoy the freedoms. Otherwise, you are copying from a copyrighted material. Which is illegal. Comply or write it from scratch.

Or... Be nice and ask. People tell u what to do. Don't be rude here.

I remember this Video editor software which didn't comply properly with OSS licence of FFMPEG(?). And people told author what to do. It's always cheap to be kind. Or win dumb prizes.
