Recently saw a youtube video about a service created to change an open source software license.
- One agent reads code and gather specs
- Another agent, without access to the original code, creates equivalent software
In theory this should allow someone to take any open source software and change it’s license.
For a large portion of open source likely this is not an issue, because nobody may care for the particular software, but for larger projects I wonder what sort of impact this may have. In particular any open source software where it’s authors are making a living from donations or public support.
Has anyone read, or thought, of a way to prevent getting one’s code license changed this way?


that’s the very first thing i thought.
fuck it, do it on that leaked windows codebase to improve wine.
