They did, but that was for contributions. They still sold access to the encyclopedia to big tech so they could train on it to create slop (in violation of the licenses that Wikipedia is licensed under).

OSM doesn’t require you to open derivative works, though - they just require attribution. Kind of a different situation.

I know what copyleft licenses are about, that was covered in the post - if you read it. If you are saying that you are making long comments without reading the post, great I guess, but not super interesting (to me).

I’m not really interested in getting into an argument around license choice because I wasn’t advocating for any particular license (like you seem to be).

I said I was focusing on copyleft, cool that you ignored the entire post though. 😑

as soon as it’s modified by a human in nontrivial ways

is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

We know that people are using coding LLMs as slot machines - pull the handle and see if it solves your problem. Where is the human modifying anything? That is a “straight dump” of AI output without modifications.

Except for the fact that it is public domain and not protected by the open source license that the code is ostensibly submitted under.

What is the purpose of this message?

But also, yes, i love the cliche because people just moan on lemmy about things instead of actively addressing the issue with the appropriate people on the appropriate mediums.

Airing your grievances out here is fun though. I get it. but asking the people upset about it to do some work is also fun.

Awfully ironic to say this, now that “code is free”. What work are we talking about?

Well, you could import the same policies into Firefox that LibreWolf uses, or it might be some workaround in your graphics driver that acts on the filename of the Firefox executable.

Obviously you don’t need to test, but just throwing out ideas if you would want to.

Might just be a Firefox bug, since it’s a very light fork. Try Firefox and see if it does the same thing.

Why do you want people to stop discussing this? Are you running community management for Mozilla? If not, why is discussing it not “addressing the issue”? People are engaging in discourse.

I’m seeing closed bugs from 2021 here, are we supposed to take these seriously?

Could you link to a real issue so we aren’t guessing about what we are looking at?

What fingerprint issues are you aware of?

It’d be nice if they even pleased the open AI enthusiasts, but they can’t even manage that.

Just letting the voting happen. I’m sharing.

Yes, exactly.

Closed source Chromium sounds like fun.
