Apparently chardet got Claude to rewrite the entire codebase from LGPL to MIT?
https://github.com/chardet/chardet/releases/tag/7.0.0
That is one way to launder GPL code I guess?
People are rightfully angry at age verification laws.
That doesn't justify any harassment campaigns towards *any* FOSS developers, maintainers nor contributors. Turn that anger towards something productive.
Get a grip people, holy shit.
OH: "So you are saying you have a non-profit I can launder money through?"
I'm at a #demoparty an hour outside Oslo. There are finns here, and a portable sauna on the parking lot.
OH: "It's at the bottom of the list, but Buckfast is where the wine snobbery starts."
Imagine being so deranged you would spend hundreds of thousands on laundering a GPL codebase to a permissive license, instead of... Idk... donate the money to maintainers that could actually do something useful with it.
I'm sad.
I should go open that dive bar.

US court is leaning towards that LLM generated code is fundamentally not copyrightable.
This is a different problem to the moral issues I have with this.
A myriad of merges.

Did a new release of ssh-tpm-agent.
https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent/releases/tag/v0.9.0
`ssh-tpm-add` now supports `-c` for confirmation dialogs before key usage, along with a nice process chain. Thanks to @mic92@toot.matereal.eu
`ssh-tpm-agent` is now available in Debian testing!
Thanks to @jas@fosstodon.org for packaging it!
Remember security peeps,
if you are looking at the new PQC deadlines and go "man, this sucks".
It's never to late to move to Paris start your own jazz fusion group.
And again all my networking voes "Why am I too dumb to understand network" has been solved by just remembering to turn off the firewall.
"Postgres developer finds a regression" is a good 5 word horror story at this point.
Gotten an LLM sales pitch on a rave: ✅
Guy had a QR code ready and everything.
Heading for #Kubecon today!
Holler if you want to come chat with me how the Norwegian Broadcasting Company (NRK) serves election results, tools, widget and components for journalists and tv production.
Alternatively, holler if you want to talk about Linux distributions, platform security, TPM or Secure Boot!
@benjojo
Okay but hear me out.
DNS is a HSM.
You like boot chains? I like boot chains.
I was expecting a lot of LLM on #Kubecon but almost two continuous hours of keynote speakers 🫠?

Supreme Court has already dismissed such cases.
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/02/us-supreme-court-declines-to-hear-dispute-over-copyrights-for-ai-generated-material.html
So we are getting a precedent in US law. Yet to be settled in any high court in the EU though.

A license violation usually implies that there is a copyright violation to begin with.
Replying to
@scy@chaos.social @jzb@hachyderm.io @joshbressers@infosec.exchange
Depends.
If you have a permissively licensed project, you can change the source to GPL by just using a poison pill approach.
This is what Forgejo did as an example.
https://forgejo.org/2024-08-gpl/
This works as the MIT license terms are met.
The other way would not work.
Seems like the same troll has now realized writing slop articles dramatizing distro stuff is a way to get clicks.
Amazing.
Are people going to bite again?

Do you think harassment of FOSS maintainers, developer and contributors is fine?
Where harassment means writing dossiers/doxxing them or sending death threats?

I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to try and debate what is and isn't a copyright violation.

Sure.
But I'm not going to spend time on a strawman disguised as a logic puzzle. That isn't how laws work nor how they are formed.

Public domain is not really a thing in most of the world. So "yes", for US. For EU it's more complicated.

Sure, but we are not really looking at, nor discussing, cases where LLMs spits out something verbatim from another project in this case.

And if the employment contract stipulates they can work a percentage of their hours on FOSS, and the company has no say nor control in the development of the software?

I would steer people towards Fedora instead of Manjaro.
Mostly because of community and project health.

*complaining* doesn't help anyone.
Some projects will need to comply with this law, if you show up and tell them "don't do that" you are just asking a project to break the law on your behalf.
Does this apply to systemd? No, it's a component. But what then? Do we just tell the projects that *need* to comply to "get lost"?
Turning your anger towards the FOSS maintainers that are at the end of the stick is unproductive.
Ah, I need to pack for #kubecon 🫠
