if it were true that indeed was legal to rewrite and relicense open source code, would that also be true for non-open source code? as in, could someone do a similar rewrite of their employers proprietary code and release it publicly?

Man, how could they not wait 2.5 weeks until April 1 !!!

Hope they have very good lawyers...

Poe's Law just smacked me upside the head on this one. Hard.

It's not april 1st yet

The name was too much of a giveaway. I just hope that somebody who inevitably builds this for real is self-aware enough to name themselves so transparently.

About the only reason nobody would actually build this is there's no money in it. Who'd pay for a CRaaS version when they're not even paying for the original open source version?

I do think somebody will eventually vibe-code it for the lulz.

This could also be done with a fair amount of commercial software, especially anything that's basically a wrapper around APIs, databases, etc.

This is quite literally the end of open source. projects will find themselves in the position of making their test suites private to avoid being sherlocked like this
