I’m surprised it’s taken this long to see something like this on HN.

Maybe something like this could be a propellant for legitimate copyright reform.




Given who has more money for lawyers, I worry that copyright reform will take the form of small creators being given weaker protection than large entities - for example by making formally registering a copyright on a work necessary to get "full" protections, while self-applied licenses are treated as merely suggestions.


There have been plenty of discussions of this subject here.

Well I clearly saw this miles away. [0] [1]

Effectively you can't even use the code since it has trampled on licenses which are incompatible with each other. But it is more of a problem for Copilot.
