Another reason to use the GPL software license, over MIT or BSD

In short, GPL uses copyright law to protect you, as an author of software, from exploitation better than MIT or BSD software licenses do. Here we have a case of the Anthropic corporation using MIT-licensed code in one of their software products, which is of course a for-profit product. The original author of that code received no compensation, as it is not required by the license. So the author applied for a job at Anthropic, and ironically, Anthropic responded with an AI-generated rejection letter. Corporations like Anthropic seem to have an allergy to GPL-licensed code however, due to the nature of how the GPL license grants much more specific rights and restrictions, both to the authors of the code, and the companies who use it.

Of course, nowadays LLMs can ingest GPL and MIT/BSD licensed code and spit it back out in altered form, essentially letting the makers of the LLM profit from your work without compensating you, so the GPL is probably due for an “upgrade” to prevent use for AI training. Unfortunately thanks to regulatory capture, and not-so-impartial courts of law mostly ignoring copyright law nowadays, it might not even be possible to use GPL or copyright to protect authors of software anymore. Probably a whole new legal framework is required first, and I don’t think this will be happening any time soon.

@mdhughes I don’t really buy the “CORPOS DO NOT CARE about your license” argument because I don’t see how it is relevant to the discussion. It’s kind of like saying there is not point in having laws if people are going to break them anyway. Why even use MIT or BSD licenses then?

I think with the software license the intention of the author is important. GPL was an attempt at having a legally enforceable declaration that the author intended for the software to always and forever be in the commons.

I concede that the GPL is probably inadequate nowadays. There are alternatives though, one that I have been thinking about lately is the Anti-Capitalist Software License, though of course there is probably no way that the license is enforceable.

Yesterday we discussed AI usage in our Team. We agree it can be used for small tasks which can be described in a concise prompt and do some repetitive work for small but time consuming things.

Other than that code completion is either annoyingly not helpful, where most disable the feature or ignore it. Complex tasks fail for stupid reasons like using wrong frameworks or framework versions. Experiments showed that it was not possible to create a little bit more complex app meeting our requirements. It did not even compile.

As in be so precise with your prompts so as not to leave any room for ambiguity? I guess we could try reducing our use of language to core logical constructs with clearly-defined and well-understood relationships between inputs and outputs to create a predictable and reproducible system. We could call it, oh, I don’t know, programming or something?

Dear EU commission, as you may have noticed bowing to Trump didn't work and instead emboldened him to double-down on his bullying. We thought that you would have learned this particular lesson after years of trying to appease Putin, but no, you still haven't. Dear EU commission, it's about time your members grew a fucking spine. Sincerely, a European citizen.

Genocide denial is considered the final stage of the genocidal process. If you’re denying Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, you are literally complicit in genocide and part of the genocidal process. And history is taking notes.

Israeli Embassy dismisses claims of "staff evacuation" in #Athens
keeptalkinggreece.com/2025/08/…

Earlier Israeli media and the Turkish state-run news agency Anadolu reported that the Israeli embassy in Athens was being evacuated due to protests planned on August 10. Shortly afterwards, they corrected their articles, stating that it was an “isolated act.” The Turkish agency’s report, however, emphasized that there has been no official announcement from the Israeli or the Greek sides.

À 87 ans, celui qui se présentait comme le « roi de #Davos » dirigeait d’une main de fer le Forum économique mondial depuis 1971. Mais en avril #2025, tout s’est écroulé en 48 heures. Une lettre anonyme de dénonciation a mis fin au règne de l’homme qui accueillait chaque année présidents, Premiers ministres et PDG dans la station de ski suisse.

Klaus #Schwab : "la chute spectaculaire du « roi de Davos » secoue le monde économique", écrit MoneyRadar
En 2024, une première enquête du Wall Street Journal dénonce une culture toxique au sein du #WEF. Mais le pire est à venir.

En avril 2025, une enquête interne, menée par le cabinet d’avocats suisse Homburger, révèle que Klaus Schwab et sa femme Hilde ont engagé plus de 1,1 million de dollars de frais de voyage suspects. S'y ajoutent 836 000 livres sterling de dépenses insuffisamment liées aux activités du Forum.

Les détails donnent le vertige. Billets 1ère classe pour Hilde Schwab qui n’a aucun rôle officiel dans l’organisation. Voyages personnels aux Seychelles, à Miami, en Afrique du Nord, tous sur le compte du #WEF. Dernier en date : une semaine au Maroc entre décembre 2024 et janvier 2025, facturée comme voyage professionnel.
Quatorze massages d’hôtel passent sur la note de frais.
Klaus Schwab finira par en rembourser la moitié, mais seulement après que les enquêteurs mettent le doigt sur ces dépenses. Même la ligne téléphonique de leur domicile genevois et le portable de leur femme de ménage transitent par les comptes du Forum.

« Sens-tu que je pense à toi ? »
Les révélations financières ne sont que la partie émergée de l’iceberg. L’enquête dévoile un comportement qualifié d’inapproprié envers le personnel féminin. En juin 2020, Klaus Schwab envoie un email tardif à une cadre supérieure : « Sens-tu que je pense à toi ? ». Un message qui émane du patron d’une organisation prônant l’égalité hommes-femmes.

αν διαβάσετε την ιστορία της όταν ήταν προϊστάμενη της ανεξάρτητης αρχής στην Ρουμανία, θα δείτε πως έγιναν δεκάδες προσπάθειες από βουλευτές, υπουργούς, μαφιόζους να την σπιλώσουν / αποδομήσουν.

Όλες έπεσαν στο κενό γιατί κάθε φορά ξεσηκώνονταν ο κόσμος, μέχρι και πορείες, συγκεντρώσεις στις μεγάλες πόλεις,

Έτσι πέρασε βραχιολάκια σε πρωθυπουργούς, υπουργούς, βουλευτές, δημάρχους, μαφιόζους και πολλούς άλλους.

The same players keep winning — because they have the access

The Trump Crime Syndicate - Trump's Tariff Carveout Economy: The Corruption Happening Right Now

“If you wanted to know who’s winning & losing in the carveout game right now, you’d need an inside guide — and that information is never going public."

The Hidden Tariff Carveout Economy: The Corruption Happening Right Now

The same players keep winning — because they have both the access (via Ballard) & the right product categories

These carveouts are worth hundreds of millions to billions in avoided tariffs

Without transparency, this remains a live pay-to-play racket hidden under vague trade justifications

Today, Donald Trump’s tariff wars are in full swing — packaged in bold rhetoric about “making China pay,” “protecting American jobs,” & “restoring economic independence.” But behind the slogans, a very different reality is playing out: a shadowy system where politically connected corporations are quietly excused from paying the very tariffs Trump claims are essential to defend American workers

But connecting the dots is nearly impossible because:

Lobbying disclosures show who hired the firm & for what general issue, but never confirm whether an exemption was the result.

Government tariff exemption records are now less transparent than ever

The link between “this company hired this lobbyist” & “this company got this carveout” is deliberately obscured
