I do not read where I wrote something like that but anyway. A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms: [1] 0. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose. 1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.=20 2. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others. 3. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. All is about the philosophy of =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2=80=9D. 1: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html > As advice for the future when somebody says a concern or wish they have,= =20 > your first statement shouldn't be "but its legal" because that=20 > completely dismisses any constructive discussion that could be done. Again, I am not arguing about =E2=80=9Clegal=E2=80=9D something. Instead, = I am pointing that this wish does not match the principles of =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2= =80=9D. If you accept that the software you create is =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2=80= =9D then you cannot complain if this =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2=80=9D is used in some con= texts that you consider unethical. That=E2=80=99s the double sword of =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2=80=9D. Do I consider LLMs as something unethical? I think yes: most AI appears to me unethical but that=E2=80=99s another story (rooting my arguments in arguments about energy [2,3,4]). 2: https://social.sciences.re/@zimoun/112082437445032973 3: https://social.sciences.re/@zimoun/112039562095800532 4: https://social.sciences.re/@zimoun/112038609631116527 > What is in question here is whether Software Heritage respects people=20 > enough to do the right thing and respect their wishes without getting=20 > lawyers/legal involved. Again, this is an incorrect frame, IMHO. Software Heritage (SWH) do the things you granted them to do. SWH respects the =E2=80=9Cethical=E2=80=9D = definition of =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2=80=9D. Again, do I think that feeding LLM after publishing a statement for LLM code is a good move? I do not know=E2=80=A6 Does it break my ethical valu= es? Maybe=E2=80=A6 Can I complain about my contributions to =E2=80=9Cfree soft= ware=E2=80=9D reused in a way that I might consider unethical? No. 5: https://www.softwareheritage.org/2024/02/28/responsible-ai-with-starcode= r2/ 6: https://www.softwareheritage.org/2023/10/19/swh-statement-on-llm-for-cod= e/ > Besides with the way you are framing Free Software as not respecting any= =20 > social rules then that makes Free Software not attractive which is the=20 > opposite of what we are trying to do here :) I do not know what are the =E2=80=9Csocial rules=E2=80=9D of =E2=80=9Cfree = software=E2=80=9D. At best, I understand the social rules of a community working on free software. And this community is far to be an homogeneous whole with clear social rules. These social rules vary and the only shared denominator is the =E2=80=9Cfree software=E2=80=9D principles defined by four freedoms. The only question might be: by allowing ingested source code to be used to train LLM, is Software Heritage aligned with the values that the Guix community promote? To be honest, I cannot answer to that question in a hurry. > 2. > > > Somehow, a Content-Addressed system is designed around immutable=20 > > content.

I will not refrain to say: Talk is cheap!

We are speaking about which discussion because I am lost. About LLM or about =E2=80=9Crewrite history=E2=80=9D? About LLM, see point #1. About =E2=80=9Crewrite history=E2=80=9D, see point #2 > 4. > > > This language is not acceptable on Guix channel of communication. > > Calling out transphobia it is very much accepted here actually :) No it is not. Because it is a bold conclusion. I am asking that the Guix project rewrite right now its history: changing my identity =E2=80=99zimoun=E2=80=99 to my identity =E2=80=99Simon= Tournier=E2=80=99. Since the Guix project will take the time to check, then I will claim: the Guix project is French-phobic! I ask you again to stop such language. I respect your opinion but name calling is not welcoming on Guix channels of communication. Cheers, simon
