They should definitely respect the licenses, that being said, Microsoft owns GitHub and can be a bit quick in what they ban. It also means they are beholden to US laws, which could turn anti FOSS-AI in the near future.

This is a smart move and I honestly hope more countries start doing it. It would probably lead to a better ecosystem.

I think projects like this are good, but I really don't want governments to create their own version of XYZ for the sake of creating clones of XYZ. I'm scared that all this will do is fragment an almost-universal collection of open-source projects into regional variants for no real reason.

In China, they’re the same picture.

It's a bit odd, but isn't it equivalent to forking and putting up a fork elsewhere?

I guess I don't see the problem.

It depends on the software license.

It will be funny to see folks who spent the last ten years posting "It's not stealing, it's copying" memes suddenly find religion because Evil Foreign People got involved.

Some random Chinese company: does something jenky

Blogger: "The entirety of China is doing this jenky thing!"

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

All Chinese companies are the CCP. That’s how the system works.

And all US companies follow US laws and crazy people say they do the bidding of CIA/NSA/FBI- which they do, to a degree.
