Completely vibe-coded project it seems, even documentation. And yet:
Also love this:
Look, I use AI too (mostly to speed things up by working on multiple items in parallel), but I'm not gonna stuff "human-origin source license" on anything I use it for, nor do I think creating API-compatible replacements, competing implementations, etc, should reasonably be possible to block with a license... Also, quite literally, he's creating tools for reverse engineering, which in itself is generally in breach of the license of whatever software is being reverse engineered. Fuck off and use a FOSS license, whether it be permissive or copyleft...
"No! Nuh uh! You can't prompt Claude to do what it did for me, again! I did it first and called 'dibs' on ever doing it again!"
As if copyright even applied to this.
Was it not ruled that API compatibility was not copyright infringement? (Oracle Vs Google.) I don't think the last two are even enforceable.
At that point why bother making your codebase public?
