Way back when in 2015, I assigned all my past and future copyrights to any contributions I made to Debian-owned projects (including any packaging work I made, etc) to the SFC, because our values aligned at the time, and it made sense. Following this post of theirs, I sent them an email asking them to reassign copyright back to me going forward.

I have not contributed to Debian in years, and the chance of me doing so in the foreseeable future is slim, but I could not stand and watch without sending a message.

I will continue to tell anyone who dares come close to my projects with an LLM to fuck off, and will ban them from any spaces I have control over. “AI” companies have caused immeasurable harm to FLOSS projects, not shunning them is ceding ground to them. And when you let them in, sooner or later, only they will remain.

I’ll stick to people, thankyouverymuch.
