If you want your code to be used as widely as possible, then use an MIT/BSD license.
If you want companies to give back if they use your code, then use GPL. If you want to dual license, then use GPL.
Both licenses are good, just use the right tool for the goal.

If the resulting implementation looks too much like the original, then it will probably still count as a copyright violation in court. If you want to do a true clean-room implementation, then you need to keep the code out of the LLM's training data.

95% of my work is already analyzing legacy code and thinking how to fix it without tumbling the fragile stack of cards over.
Some people use their agent to do this analysis for them, and report that it goes much faster. You might try that.

Oh, a ruling of some kind is certainly could happen. But courts tend to not prevent this kind of thing entirely, usually they just impose monetary damages. The only question is how much.

Addiction and depression are facts of life. There is a percentage of the population who are caught up in it.
Ironic to say that while standing in line for coffee.

It takes care with thread priorities and mutexes in various parts of the underlying system, to make fish swim smoothly.
Using threads and mutexes is a non-standard way to animate fish, and if thread priorities are causing issues, something has gone horribly wrong in your programming. Did you use AI?

An electric truck market should exist, but US automakers have to pay too much for batteries for there to be one here.
This should be repeated.
