RedSnt comments on Asahi Linux Drops MIT and Goes Full GPL After AI Tools Were Used to Steal Unreleased Code

In a perfect world we wouldn't even need licenses, or just use BSD style ones, but alas.. And thus moving to a copyleft license is the best move for sure.

AI bubble has shown that if you don’t have billions of dollars for lawyers, your IP will be copied and compressed into an LLM and you won’t be able to do anything about it, regardless of license. But at least Apple won’t be able to profit from Asahi team work and BSDs won’t be able to use drivers from Asahi. So much winning.

Apple is an asshole company, if they wanted community contribution for their drivers, they could've made their stuff open, now they can go fuck off, full stop

Given the state of Asahi right now I don’t think Apple would be interested. It’s enough for some enthusiasts willing to sacrifice some things but by the time Asahi approaches function and performance parity that hardware will be commercially irrelevant. What does this even achieve in the age of license laundering with LLMs?
