Today we’re announcing that OpenAI will acquire Astral⁠, bringing powerful open source developer tools into our Codex ecosystem.

Astral has built some of the most widely used open source Python tools, helping developers move faster with modern tooling like uv, Ruff, and ty. These tools power millions of developer workflows and have become part of the foundation of modern Python development. As part of our developer-first philosophy, after closing OpenAI plans to support Astral’s open source products. By bringing Astral’s tooling and engineering expertise to OpenAI, we will accelerate our work on Codex and expand what AI can do across the software development lifecycle.

Too late for what exactly? Describe in actual detail.

You said it yourself, it's open source so why are you running from it? The code is and will continue to be there in the open.

OpenAI can change the license at any time. Who's going to stop them?

It can also be forked at any time from the commit prior.

Nope, they can retroactively change it

Commit history literally exists, you can go back to the commit prior to changing the license and fork it. Do you understand git in the slightest?
