Losing control of the GHC code base would be a pretty big gap in the Haskell ecosystem.
They don't have to go out and pay a lawyer out of pocket right away. There's myriad other ways, such as: - finding other projects affected by this, and seeing if they have already answered these questions - finding one of the "thousands of people" as you say which are "are already thinking" about those issues and asking them - banding together with them to pay for legal fees - asking the usual sponsors for extra money for this extraordinary need - raising funds in the community - running a gofundme Probably more, this is just off the top of my head. > the incremental benefit is small So we're past laypeople theorizing what the legal impact of LLM use on the GHC code base could be, and straight to "any actual informed opinion by an expert will be of small benefit". That is very precarious thing to claim. > I could see the answer being different if the original questions had > brought up unique problems specific to GHC or major Haskell projects Once again: the fact that other people are on fire doesn't mean you shouldn't put out yourself. _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
