The era of automatic code washing is upon us. The ability to cleanroom reverse engineer and reimplement any software with little effort. Software value in free fall.
I'm an Ente customer primarily because they're open-source, so I find it extremely disappointing that Ente appears to be violating FairScan's license here. It's especially disappointing because it seems like FairScan could have just used the code with attribution since FairScan uses a license that's compatible with Ente's.
Perhaps it’s about taking pride in one’s work. The feeling of mastery. “I understood this. I solved it. Doesn’t that matter?”
Maybe being right, doing the right thing, and solving difficult problems isn’t what makes the world tick. But perhaps it’s what makes you tick.
And realizing that the world doesn’t necessarily value what gives your work meaning is a loss that needs to be grieved.
Software licenses don't mean anything anymore.
