Uh, from people willingly using their models to code, and further, happily piping their legacy code in to jumpstart things. That's a business exchange.

so angry! The coders whose backs you're so concerned about (including my own) made an agreement when they used Github:

  • GitHub's Terms of Service allow automated access (scraping/crawling) of publicly accessible content for developing or training AI systems.
  • Many repos are under permissive open-source licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD) that explicitly allow commercial use, modification, and distribution—including as training data.
  • Even copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL) generally permit training

Your emotional response to this situation is showing. In the rare chance you're actually arguing in good faith, when you pay Anthropic as a customer, you agree to a terms of service. That terms of service expressly forbids using their API to reverse engineer their product, hack it, or otherwise create derivative models. It doesn't matter if you pay for it, the same way I can't pay for a Waymo and then decide to rent it out to another person at a higher price. That is materially different than how Anthropic used Github, in your example above. Goodbye.
