alt Hacker NewsIt’s open source. You take ownership of it for your deployment and stop relying on continued free work.
You can use llm to pull in updates as they are released. It’s not gpl, so you don’t need to publish your port

The companies I have worked for before all have used open source software like postgres, mysql, go, python, k8s, etc. 99% of the time we relied on free work; never contributed to these projects nor forked them for our own needs. I don’t think this behaviour is the unusual path tbh

You don't even need to publish your port if it's GPLv3 as long as you don't publish the binary.
1. Nobody, not even the Googles or NSAs of the world do that. No single entity has the expertise nor resources necessary to maintain a fork for every open source project they use -- forking and maintaining Linux alone takes teams of people. And no, going full psychosis mode with LLMs is not going to save you.
2. This project is AGPLv3.
