Some thoughts/predictions about how open source developers will be forced to choose their path with GenAI.

Full disclaimer: my own post, sharing for discussion and to find out if anyone has any brilliant ideas what else could be done. It looks like self-posts are okay here but let me know if I'm wrong about that.

As you said, it's out of the box/bag. The thing I'll push for is open sourcing all code. Being able to copy opensource code and hide it in proprietary code is to me the biggest problem. Were everything opensource, I doubt anybody would bat an eye. "You copied my code and put it out there publicly, free of charge? Good. Do it again".

Personally, I license everything as restrictively as possible for companies and would love an enforcable opensource license that figures out how to make companies contribute back or pay for use of the code.
