Now we are facing an unprecedented growth of AI as a whole. Do you think is time for FSF elaborate a new version of GPL to incorporate the new challenges of AI in software development to keep protecting users freedom?

Yes, otherwise big tech is gonna keep learning AI models on FOSS projects and make their proprietary mashups.

wonder if that played any part in microsoft's decision to acquire github. they can scan all the repos now, not just the public ones.

Is what they're doing not violating GPLv3?

Well, since I'm not a copyright lawyer. I dunno :^)

Maybe a new offshoot license would be something that they go for, who knows?

Or maybe even no new license will come of this!

Bro my company got rid of 3 software Devs and I heard that the remaining 6 will be using GPT to share the workload. Poor Devs who created such cool stuff like GPT dont have jobs anymore.
