I went to a meetup up at @DoorDash on Friday, so it's amusing to find this "TEST TEST TEST [pulse 2022.07.28.19.59.32]" restaurant and 4 others, next door to "Mx Menu Demoooooo1231245"

This continues an odious trend in open source where people make comments like “I won’t consider your project unless you satisfy my demands”. Been dealing with this nonstop for 15 years. Giving away my labor for free and still getting criticized for it

"Nothing's immortal, except maybe COBOL"

This was just one of the gems at his lovely keynote: My Dinner with Numeric, Numpy, and Scipy: A Retrospective from 2001 to 2025 with Comments and Anecdotes.

Any project that accepts code generated by tools violating license terms dilute & invalidate their own license.
These include all automated tools in use today, as even training sets that exclude GPL nevertheless violate terms of BSD & MIT licenses which require attribution.

In particular, in no uncertain terms it should reject contribution that utilized any of the popular tools in use today, which includes GitHub CoPilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, Mistral, Replit Code, StarCoder, CodeLLama. 4/5

Projects without such a direct approach are open to drifting and sliding into a post-legal world. It doesn't matter what license they use, as they lack the means to assert their own license due to a lack of provenance of their incoming contributions. 5/5

Here's another exclusive scoop from the JFK assassination files that no one is reporting on: archives.gov still running on Drupal 7.
Active support for that version stopped 9 years ago, and it reached end of life two months ago.
