#8What's the point?
Anthropic can simply play it cool and, I don't know, open source the thing?
It is not like claude code is that complex and interesting. Sure there are some questionable stuff in there but it is not that controversial.

You are comparing Anthropic obtaining public data from the Internet to Anthropic leaking their trade secrets and having them distributed by third parties.
