TL;DR: The big tech AI company LLMs have gobbled up all of our data, but the damage they have done to open source and free culture communities are particularly insidious. By taking advantage of those who share freely, they destroy the bargain that made free software spread like wildfire.

GPLv3 should be the standard licence for all opensouce, IMHO.

    It's part of that FOSS I'm calling neutered and sterile.

    FOSS is about following laws and making contracts that would be convenient with existing laws.

    That's fine, but it's just a cultural stage, a projection of the wider idea onto our reality in its local form.

    When you reduce that wider idea to FOSS with copyleft, you kill it.

    Underground culture is important.
