Re:Ask HN: Is software engineering still a good career choic... by sg1234 on Sunday June 14, 2026 @09:06AM (#48526853)
OSS has always been vulnerable to this. AI is accelerating, but changing the license doesn't guarantee adoption. It's not just because someone forked a project and changed license that suddenly everyone will start using that tool/library..

And the comparison to the music industry is fair, but the key difference is that in Software we had a Free/OSS movement for a while, and it did not kill the industry, on the contrary, it benefited from it.
