I fucking hate agents!

This is like reinventing the wheel using using tungsten and making it a pyramid shape

From the article:

...given the pretty massive and widespread architectural changes needed to make the implementation libified and memory safe, we decided that the codebase is not a derivative work that would require carrying forward the GPL license and have decided to release the code under the MIT instead.

I'm sorry but that pisses me right the hell off. I don't care who it is, using this rewrite-by-LLM to work around the GPL is just going to be a pox on the global software landscape.

Basically the author is saying "if you can afford to spend $20K on tokens, buy your way around the GPL! Those with the cash can bend, nay break, the rules!"

This is just abhorrent to me. It's STILL a derivative work, git already existed and these LLMs 100%, for sure, used knowledge from their training of the original C git implementation. Just because no one knows exactly how, where or when in the process it occurred, we know the LLMs all had access to original git in their training data.

i downvoted before i read the article. might want to lead with "Scott Charon" original co-founder of github.

EDIT: I just saw that the circumvented the license. i missed that, and that's not cool.

Why do Rust projects have to keep sucking license wise?

Like I like the languages goals. Mozzilla even made the MPL along with it! Why go rug pull licenese type everytime?

Interesting, but why not just use Gitoxide?

Daaaaamn, I love gitbutler ! Shame the'yre doing it this way (circumventing the GPL) ...

Uhhh
