Oof I saw that on HN but didn’t read up on it yet.
I’m a supporter and defender of open source, but I do have to watch for these things regularly in my $dayjob. However I would never propose this as a workaround. All the issues of trusting AI generated code side, this is just disingenuous in my opinion.
Or just use https://malus.sh/
(I say this out of horror that such a thing exists)
This is clearly satire.
Is this a parody?

It’s basically trading all the advantages of open source just to get rid of the license.
I also note it doesn’t appear to be working at the moment.
You might’ve “eaten the onion” a bit. It’s satire, read the full page cuz it’s actually a banger.
But I think a similar thing is actually happening at a larger scale with LLMs trained on FOSS code.
Also the increased demands put onto FOSS maintainers by vibe-coded contributions and by “AI-powered” analysis tools are a problem in their own right.
