[He cloned] another AI editor … covered under the Apache open source license [and] slapped its own made-up closed license … which Pan admitted was written by ChatGPT.
I’m a little bit in the camp of ‘it might be legal, but that doesn’t mean it is ok’. So I get why people are annoyed. Also copying a whole project and then slamming a different license on it and going ‘jobs done’ very much fits the promptfondler vibe, so im not mad, more of a ‘lol, of course they did’ thing. But that is me.
Who gives a shit, rigth?
Apache explicitly allows this. I don’t get why OSI bros are endlessly surprised by this.
They apparently copied without attribution in a manner that was a violation? I’m still looking for precise wording of the PEL.
It’s very hard to violate the Apache license, but these are the sort of bozos who could manage it.

It’s a little illegal and a lot christ what assholes
Yeah, pretty bad coverage of that by the article.
Apache isn’t GPL, and it isn’t an oversight that it allows closed source derivative works.
The way he admitted it was hilarious too
