Cessation of public development of Kefir C compiler | Hacker News

The Kefir C compiler maintainer says public development and code publishing are stopping.

The reason given is concern that companies scrape open-source code to train large language models without meaningful protection for authors.

The post says this changes the incentives for sharing software and makes open-source publishing feel less justified.

The announcement sparked discussion about the future of open source, copyright, and collaboration.
