Nice that he called out Torvalds on the bullshit he’s defecating lately.
The only people complaining about the disclosure bit are people who aren’t contributing. If you don’t like how someone is doing their job for free, then fork it.
Piracy is usually frowned upon in FOSS communities, regardless of the financial benefit (or lack of) to the pirate.
Usually disclosing piracy is required for the kernel, as unclearly licensed code weakens the entire foundation of the GPL it was built on, and opens the door to companies legally arguing to ignoring this license themselves.
This has the potential to handicap the entire FOSS community, and most consider that more important than a couple bugs some vibe coder desperately wants to introduce.
Forking isn’t piracy. If AI trained from Stackoverflow pages is piracy, then the majority of software development would violate GPL licensing.
More over, the complaint made was about the disclosure of AI in a project, not in the existence of AI in the project.
