Microsoft is Sued for Copyright Violations (Under Guise of 'AI') and Microsoft-Bribed Open Source Initiative Backs the Infringer, Microsoft

Stefano Maffulli defected. He is paid about $150,000 per year for this defection.

Focusing on legal aspects of AI



Summary: The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is so obscenely corrupt that it literally helps Microsoft violate the GPL and makes excuses for it, as part of a Microsoft-funded series; Stefano Maffulli is nothing but a Microsoft-funded shill, occupying a leadership position in an organisation that was supposed to call out Microsoft

Update: And if that's not bad enough, they've just published another page about it:

Microsoft-funded hogwash

And then updated another:

More AI BS

It's like the priority at OSI nowadays is Microsoft cover-up, shielding it from prosecution while it is attacking Free software.

Update #2: A few hours ago they did it a fourth time (in 2 days!). Notice the date. This was 3:55 GMT on 12/11/2022.

Want more AI? Try Mastodon!

OSI, funded by Microsoft, is constantly writing about "AI" to make it seem OK that Microsoft attacks Free/Open Source software under the banner of "AI".
