The whole #chardet drama is such a shitshow!
Not only did Dan Blanchard changed the license from MIT to a BSD Zero Clause license but also closed the issue of FOSS lawyer Richard Fontana himself as well as locked both remaining open issues regarding the changed license. /1

The “freedom to fork” was a theoretical right that required thousands of dollars in labor or years of study to exercise. AI code assistants are collapsing that cost www.maffulli.net/2026/03/16/ai-final-fron... #ai #chardet

“Two esoteric programming events bubbled up this past week. If you’re not into #computerScience, they may appear irrelevant to you. They’re not. The arcane managed to bring to life our pressing questions about whether #AI can create or is a regurgitation machine.” https://reviews.ofb.biz/sa1401 […]

Two #AI-related events over the past week — the #Chardet licensing controversy and legendary computer scientist #DonKnuth's shock over AI helping discover a theorem for a problem he'd not yet solved — demand a reckoning: precisely how creative is AI? https://reviews.ofb.biz/sa1401

There is a silver lining to the whole #python #chardet debacle. If it is legal to throw a pile of code at an LLM, and tell it to write a new version of that code that is not a derivative then that gives us a lot of options too.
GPL compatible #ZFS? no problem! #ReactOS from the leaked NT/2k […]

Can an AI rewrite of a software package be relicensed? It's complex, AND simple.
It may be impossible to prove it's not a derivative work, hence un-relicensable.
However, separately (US) Supreme Court upheld decision that machine generated code does not have copyright. Thus it also can not be […]
