It keeps me thinking that every company loves "those guys" who create OpenSource but won't give them a broken penny, nor support them in any other way

Servants! Just do your open source magic, We're impatient! Ah and thanks for all the code, our hungry hungry LLMs were starving.

As much as I think what you say in general holds, there's at least something against it here:

>And the PSF even recently took in $1.5m from Anthropic for, among other things: supply-chain security.

thank you for this example. It's always heartwarming to see such case. However I have this, maybe defeatist, feeling that companies take more than they give - in general. I remember working in companies, where giving away my source code to the public would require a ton of work approval and effort, which was heavily discouraging that. On the other hand, the companies want the opensource to take care of everything...

Maybe it's only mine feeling, so I hope you guys have different experience.

		I agree with you. I guess that's what people sign up for whether they understand it or not when using licenses like MIT, BSD, etc.

Yes they took money that they have to spend in AI to evaluate the new uploads.

Basically they got some free tokens, not actual "money".

Also I got a 2 week ban on the python discuss for suggesting that people who contribute on behalf of companies (such as microsoft) should be disclosing it. So PSF is as corporate as it gets in my eyes.

		Ah, I didn't realize that was a catch. That changes it a lot. (serious)

Which is why those guys should really stick to using copyleft licenses only, possibly just AGPL.
