There's a lot of bad advice and unfounded opinions to be had from non-experts. Programmers especially are well known for believing they are experts at everything, and then they end up re-inventing juicers, busses, trains, etc. It's a well known trend and needs special care. > you’ve already made a wrong statement on a legal matter If I made a mistake then that of course supports the notion that people will make mistakes, so everything's logically sound. So, to get this back on track: how do we locate the right lawyers? Can the Haskell Foundation even fund them? Does this require a fundraiser of some sort? Could the budgeting and/or fundraiser be joined by other communities and projects with the same issue? LLMs vs copyright is not a uniquely GHC thing. Maybe it's time to reach out to other projects under similar licenses? Other programming languages? Python, Rust, Postgres, PHP, Ruby, etc? Apache foundation? Most of the other large programming communities are corporate-owned, so this is our initial list of options. _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
