if it were true that indeed was legal to rewrite and relicense open source code, would that also be true for non-open source code? as in, could someone do a similar rewrite of their employers proprietary code and release it publicly?
Poe's Law just smacked me upside the head on this one. Hard.
I bet someone has already made this service for real.
Is this a joke, or is it the real deal?
I wish we'd distinguish between bullshit and clearly identified things that _may_ be future threats. The linked post contains a whopping lie - "What does it mean for the open source ecosystem that 90% of our open source supply chain can currently be recreated in seconds with today's AI agents" It can't. Not even close. Please, do show a working clean-room implementation of a major opensource package. (Not left-pad) W…

This unwritten distinction exists only to allow targeted enforcement in service of harassment and oppression. There is no upside (even if getting away with speeding feels good). We should strive to enforce all laws 100% of the time as that is the only fair option.

We should welcome more precise law enforcement. Imperfect enforcement is too easy for law enforcement officers to turn into selective enforcement. By choosing who to go after, law enforcement gets the unearned power to change the law however they want, enforcing unwritten rules of their choosing. Having law enforcement make the laws is bad. The big caveat, though, is that when enforcement becomes more accurate, the r…
To add some context - > Imperfect enforcement is too easy for law enforcement officers to turn into selective enforcement. By choosing who to go after, law enforcement gets the unearned power This is by design, in an American context of building a free society. By default, you are allowed to do whatever you like to do in a free society. To constrain behavior through law, first a legislator must decide that it should…
I think there’s a difference between the marketing brochure and reality.

I almost lost it, didn't realize it was satire until I came back to these comments
This site is not satire. You can actually pay on Stripe and it will create code for you. The site is written with satirical language but it is a real service.
