@codeinabox The problem with AI being trained on our code is not because the code has inherent value. In most cases, the code *is* being distributed for free, after all.
The *problem* is that it’s a violation of licenses - an expression of an author’s desire for how their work is used. If an author’s work is an extension of themselves, then violating a license is a violation of their autonomy.
the problem is that licenses were always a scam, IP is nonsense. the problem is corporations tricked us into thinking it was real so they could make more money – and now they can make more money by dispelling the myth.
