I think the appearance of free software really broke the oligarch's brains. People are just giving away stuff that should be Shareholder Value? And we *can't* buy it off them and own it? People are just running a compiler whenever they like to make whatever they want without paying anyone?
The push to adopt LLM-powered code generation tools is so frenzied and desperate partly because it's a perceived solution to claw back ownership of the means of production into the Right Hands.
@petealexharris but all that #LLM generated code has to be considered #GNU #GPL, because GNU General Public License code was certainly included in all the training sets. Clause 5(c) applies.
We're happy to announce MiniDebConf Kanpur 2026 scheduled for 14th-15th March, 2026.

I recommend to listen to @techlore host 's new podcast with my @fsfe co-worker @llas about what the #DMA actually does, why big cooperations are fighting it in court, and what it means for #FreeSoftware ( #OpenSource) and digital freedom.
Proud to hear @hen saying in the intro: "one of the most fascinating interviews I've done on this #podcast" 🤗
