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.

    I'm about 95% certain this is a joke but Poe's law is dead. In addition to the name being on the nose, the footer has

    I do love the notion that most projects are documented well enough to recreate from scratch.

    Yeah. I saw a video about it yesterday. These people have less than zero shame and they don’t care about anything except profit.

    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
