If the code is GPL they'll generally be scared to use it. I agree with you for non-copyleft open source though
Yep, corporate software developer here and they're scared shitless of incorporating anything gpl'd.
When all the valuable code is free, the price of valuable code will be 0.
People will only profit from the value of the code, not the creation/ownership of the code itself. LLMs seem like they're dropping the cost of code creation significantly (50-90% so far)... impacted players should plan accordingly.
It's a fundamentally different model, not a broken one. It will break a lot of businesses if they don't adapt.
