How many others are now reluctant to open source their code because they don't want it to end up in the training for an LLM? I certainly am.

Couldn't care less, honestly. That being said, I don't use any LLM for coding and it'll be a long time before I do.

It definitely feels less fun. Harder to get attribution, build a reputation, a community… Common driving forces for people to contribute to open source.

Me. I've never been a maintainer for any big opensource project, so it won't make a dent on anything, but now my contributions are exactly zero.

This is honestly why I have stopped contributing to open source.

I was fine with my work being a gift for all of humanity equally, but I did not consent with it being a gift to a for-profit company that I'm not personally benefiting from, that wont even follow the spirit of the open source license.

If AI doesn't have to follow the GPL, then I'm not going to create GPL code.

some startups are already avoiding the open source route, exactly because of that. You publish your code, then 2 weeks later, we have dozen of "$PROJ in $LANG rewritten". 30000 LOC + super verbose README.md done in one week, in less than 10 commits, from somebody that never wrote a single line of OSS.
