AI companies are discouraging people from contributing to Open Source projects because their work is scraped and reused for someone else's business model. IMHO, The social implications are far more erosive than any legal or financial reasons.

... and what exactly was the value conquering a 10 years old Open Source project like TWiki using a VC funded company, acquiring the trademark and then locking out all of its contributors? Because that's what Rod did 2008. I tell you: it only had value for a single node/company while other stakeholders were trampled under their feet. Sour grapes? No, live goes on on the Foswiki fork. Let's see 2009.

The logs in the posting above are not so interesting. If you need the logs of the way this was communicated to the TWiki community then have a look at http://twikifork.org/pub/Fork/TWikiReleaseMeeting2008x10x27/twiki_release_2008_10_27.log
