Wtf are these comments? A LGPL licensed project, guaranteed to be free and open source, being LLM-washed to a permissive license, and GPL is the problem here?

They are literally stealing from open source, but it's the original license that is the issue?

They have been maintaining the project for years. It's not like some Joe Random with ChatGPT randomly entered the scene

And? Doesn't give them any right to re-license the code. Especially not to strip rights for other users.

But it's a reimplementation... So it's new code, their code. Can't they license it? Only the project name and the API surface remained similar
