It is good for you to feel that way, others increasingly view it as a narrative endorsed by big tech to get free labor and "AI" training material.

If it solves your problem, why would you care about what other people do with it ? Free software isn't charity, just a way to find allies - usage by other people is a side effect which doesn't cost anything to the project and is entirely irrelevant apart as some input for the user-to-ally pipeline.

		Have you ever spent a huge amount of unpaid time to create an innovative, successful open source project and then had it forked in this manner? If not, I don't think you can accurately predict how this feels. Especially if the forker takes credit for your work, raises large amounts of venture capital, and uses their fork in a way which directly competes with your original project.

> "AI" training material

One of the things that I have been encountering, more and more, is the "GIGO" principle (Garbage In, Garbage Out).

Some of the code that I get from coding agents and chat LLMs, is laughably bad. It works, but only because the example has five different approaches to solving the issue, and only two of them work, etc.

I just spent the last two days, working around junk that I got, for implementing WebAuthn. I have it working now, and am grateful for the example, but I'd never ship the code I was given as an example.
