Some people in this comment section would probably profit from touching some grass and then looking up who actually contributes to the kernel and how the GPL license works.

    If you're concerned about this coming from Meta, you haven't been paying attention. This is not to excuse Metas responsibility in the enshittification of the internet, but as a hyperscalar they of course have been pushing computing technology for a long time, and many of it openly available. CRAM will probably be upstreamed into Linux and I assume is therefore already licensed under the GPL. Meta Research seems to be operating in a much more open and useful way than the rest of the company.

    what i worry about is them having any control over it and thus in position to gain more control over everything that might depend on it should it become widely used.

    In the case of CRAM as a part of Linux the ultimate control still lies with Linus Torvalds. Other Meta projects like for example zstd can be forked as soon as they do some fishy stuff with it. But I do agree, when Meta is in the role of maintainer, we should keep a close eye on how the projects develop.

    I feel like most of such work happens despite the company not because of it. True credit goes to the engineers who did it. I feel like meta would have just scraped them for more VR universe or whatever it was called lol
