I'm of an opposite mind. I reckon the author wrote this in the dip, and we'll see a rebound soon where FOSS is strengthened by anti-AI sentiments.

We need to stop being agnostic, draw a line, and begin rejecting any genAI involvement in open source before it’s actually too late.

exactly.

Anti AI licenses will do that. To the naysayers or OSI zealots: The 2026 EU AI directive makes a lot of these licenses possibly enforceable.
