I said it few years back that code license doesn't exist anymore, some people just haven't realized it yet.


Previously, big tech used to still somehow find loopholes for GPL and licenses still had some value.

Nowadays, It genuinely feels a lot less because there are now services who will re-write the code to prevent the license.

Previously, I used to still think that somewhat non propreitory licenses like the SSPL license etc. might be interesting approaches but I feel like they aren't that much prone to this either now anymore.

So now I am not exactly sure.
