Oh, that is fairly new. They certainly must do some extra form of review that we may or may not pass, though. Surprisingly (to me at least), buying fake GitHub stars is quite lucrative and can benefit you much more than free SaaS subscriptions [1]. That is immoral and likely illegal, so of course I am not suggesting it. :) >> The LLM companies have 6 month free (as in monetary) offers for Open >> Source [1] [2].

But they probably have smart research people showing the average person does not behave like me. Collin [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.13459
