From the site: “# Clean Room as a Service

Finally, liberation from open source license obligations.

Our proprietary AI robots independently recreate any open source project from scratch. The result? Legally distinct code with corporate-friendly licensing. No attribution. No copyleft. No problems.”

Edit: Consensus is this is satire, but sadly I can see it being a reality at some point.

Yes. A lot of open source licenses state that if you

  1. use their code you have to note the fact that you used it in any licensing agreements you may create

  2. may restrict what you use it for “don’t go Palntir with our code

  3. state that if you make changes to the code then you must make those changes available as well

This is saying they’ll recreate things to give corporations an “out” from those restrictions
