Maybe I'm lucky. My employer encourages the use of AI, but no one expects me to ship 10x faster, just because AI types faster – coding never was a bottleneck.

Your initial question had your ungrounded assumption/opinion embedded in it. I did the same to you. Not the thing I usually do.

Your reasoning has plenty of strawman arguments and opinions. Starting from SaaS is not software, to how AGPL is impossible to comply with, because when you commit, the source goes out of sync with the running code.

IMO you still miss the point of GPL: it's to protect users.

As soon as you start offering your software (as a service or otherwise), you become a vendor. AGPL then is not for you, it's for users you're serving.

Finally, to enforceability. The only enforceable laws in our world have always been laws of physics. Everything else is a social construct, which, depending on your social status and immediate surrounding, applies to you at various degrees (sometimes not at all). All the laws produced by society only align our common expectations, but none is absolutely enforceable.

IMO, AGPL is the best idealistic scenario for end users. And society would only win if the expectations set by AGPL became the norm.

1. Why do you ask? Do you intend forking and making money out of it?

2. Why are you lying about AGPL being nonfree? As far as I'm concerned, it is free as in free speech for me as a user. This was the initial goal of the GPL. The freedom of the end user is the main value of the GPL family of licenses. So serious question: why are you lying? Is it intentional, or due to your lack of understanding?

I'm not really sure how Epstein files are related to Elop making a malicious (some say, stupid, but I don't believe it) decision. But I'm gonna use this argument from now on, relevant or not.

– they dropped production – at least they are not in Epstein files, like some other people

– they drove over speed limit! - at least they are not in Epstein files
