@mcc I think one of the big stories of the decade is the slow realisation that when folks say they are releasing things for everyone to do anything with, and used licences that encode that utterance, we don't in fact mean anyone, and we don't in fact mean anything

a lot of people are also realising, myself included, that the parties who can exploit and profit disproportionately more from free stuff is are the parties who are highly experienced at exploitation and profiteering. and the parties most immune from the social checks we have on harmful behaviour are sociopaths who can do the most harm.

it's a bummer
