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.

Good luck - uv is under a MIT license, so every fork is just a free buffet for openai to incorporate into their enshittified version of uv. There is a reason the GPL exists and many people will learn this the hard way ...

Your truust in the Law is admirable. OpenAI does not care at all about laws. They do what they want and have an army of lawyers to fight anyone who says differently. Just look at copyright laws.

This is why I am saying do it now. Better safe than sorry.

But, since all l am getting is abuse.... I'm out! Y'all have the say you deserve.

The world does not consist entirely of the US.

While I agree that openai can buy enough "law" in the US to do what it wants, the license is important in other jurisdictions and can be enforced.
