"Change all your core software library dependencies to be unmaintained ripoff copies of those libraries." Sounds wise.....¡¡

Note for people who just briefly skimmed the site: This is satire.

Love the product link in footer to "Emergency AGPL Removal"

Haha, was extremely rage-baited by this. Thanks.

> You have been so generous, so unreasonably, almost suspiciously generous, that you have made it possible for an entire global economy to run on software that nobody technically owns, maintained by people that nobody technically employs, governed by licenses that nobody technically reads. It is a miracle of human cooperation. It is also, from a fiduciary standpoint, completely insane. Funny but true.

This time it's satire, but I bet someone will offer exactly that for real in the next few days. The idea is unethical but far too lucrative from a business perspective.

The joke is that the models have already seen the source code of said packages regardless, right?

I did try to upload a requirements.txt with "chardet < 7.0" in it ("Copyright (C) 2024 Dan Blanchard"? I don't think so buddy, it's mine now), but despite claiming otherwise, the satirical site only takes package.json so I uploaded the one from https://github.com/prokopschield/require-gpl/ It does actually generate a price (which is suspiciously like a fixed rate of $1 per megabyte), and does actually lead you to Stripe. What happens if someone actually pays? Are they going to be refunding everything, or are they actually going to file the serial numbers off for you?

So everyone who never came around to documenting stuff, can now let out a sigh of relief ;)

The fact that it took me the comments sections to understand this is satire speaks a lot about the current status of where things are going. EDIT: Reading it again its quite obvious, I was just skimming at first, but still damn. Hilarious

This is satire, but I actually have built something that can do this extremely well as an unintentional side effect. I will not be building my business around this capability however

I bet someone has already made this service for real.

This is brilliant satire. Wonderful response to the “rewrite” of chardet. ^ For those who haven’t been keeping up on the debacle.
