  • Yes and no. As an author of open source projects, they were made available for people to fork, improve and conrribute under permissive licenses. Then come LLMs that uses code like mine to generate code or slop. My choice about license was made before LLMs. Now they use derivatives of my work without attribution as required by the license.

    Even if I change the license, it won’t be respected, and nothing else will change. To me, that’s copyright infringement on me, ignoring the hours I put in.

    On a separate note, LLMs only produce more of the same, ignoring the environmental and economic impacts. Often, more of the same is not what we need. It leads to the same mistakes being made. I’ve never used LLM to code, never will.
