Recently saw a youtube video about a service created to change an open source software license.

  • One agent reads code and gather specs
  • Another agent, without access to the original code, creates equivalent software

In theory this should allow someone to take any open source software and change it’s license.

For a large portion of open source likely this is not an issue, because nobody may care for the particular software, but for larger projects I wonder what sort of impact this may have. In particular any open source software where it’s authors are making a living from donations or public support.

Has anyone read, or thought, of a way to prevent getting one’s code license changed this way?

    The irony here is if you host your open source project somewhere where it isn’t being scraped by LLMs your legal case might be weaker.

    What an interesting idea
