This is the reason why developers here are upset about AI. You can't have it both ways and 'open source' is now weaponized against them.

AI will consume OSS software and anyone will be able to clone your closed-source app for free and open source it for 'the community' to avoid paying $1 to maintain it.

One thing that is not free is hosting.

An one thing which isn't free is AI. Try to maintain moderately complex app with AI and not spend $ on tokens or GPUs.
