> develop proprietary software

This is a weird strategy to stake future IP value on in the age of AI. With competent and fully qualified team, anyone should be able to reverse engineer this idea and build a roadmap for their own implementation. Especially in the world of open source.

1. They can gain at least a temporary advantage by using a proprietary version. They'll have the original devs who can continue where they were before. 2. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a situation where LLM-based copyright laundering becomes illegal/enforced, but only in favor of large corporations' copyright, in which case they could maintain the advantage

What would they miss out on? A bunch of PRslop? The "open source community" is now dead.

Do you really think someone off the street, armed with Opus 5.5 could recreate Deno? Or would you pull Cloudflare people off what they were doing (meaning it's a very inefficient company) to work on this?

At the end of the day, great engineers armed with great tools are going to outperform anyone who just has the great tools.
