But how is requiring explicit approval (meaning it's not something that is typically allowed) considered "permissive"?
Can someone please tell the owner of https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware that NetBSD does not in fact have a "Permissive AI Policy."
Nothing in the GPL prevents software from being used commercially... why do you claim they are unable to?
NetBSD, the only OS where typing ldconfig instantly bricks your system without warning.
I've heard "what is Windows?" from a Windows user.
...to be fair, it's not like the name is plastered all over one's experience with their PC most of the time, so how would they know?
I assumed it was the neofetch guy.
That is distinctly different from arithmetic but faster or writing but faster.
But not "problem-solving but faster".
Wait until the printing press arrives, all the scribe monks will become jobless and no one will have experience anymore.
Wait until the cotton gin arrives, all the hand weavers will become jobless and no one will have experience anymore.
Wait until the computer arrives, people will become obsolete and no one will have experience anymore.
Wait until the steam engine, automobiles, planes, calculators, telephones, bla bla
"Slippery slope" arguments like these assume that once a technology introduces a specific risk, society lacks the agency to create counter-measures, new norms, or alternative uses for that technology.
History shows that when a "slope" appears, regulation steps in, technology evolves to solve the problem, or the culture shifts to reinterpret the tool.
In almost every case, the feared "bottom" of the slope was never reached because humans constantly built ramps or bridges along the way.
Pretty sure the owner would have to doxx themselves in order to fight this in court, not sure if they're prepared to do that or just shut it down. Either way many other instances will stay running all over the world and this game of Whack-a-Mole (Streisand Edition) will continue ad infinitum.
Pretty sure money is the reason. With a side dish of possible backdoor.

That still doesn't prevent a company from having the option to use the code commercially. Whether they actually want to do it or not is a separate issue.
