Well yeah, and the GPL was born exactly to preserve open source, sharing and transparency, and to fight against proprietary software

I don't disagree - I'm not saying permissive licenses are necessarily the right call today :)

I mean stealing code was always possible, nowadays with AI and apparently copyright not existing anymore, nobody enforces anything anymore. They seem to only be enforced with actual copy pasting of code, which is not a "today" thing

By "today" I dont mean "post-ai" I mean "pre-revolution"
