Every modern digital technology
– from AI to quantum computing
– is based on foundational open source software building blocks.
Open source code is embedded in almost all products and services,
enabling economic growth and ensuring the resilience of our society and government.
While open source software has become the backbone of our digital infrastructure,
these essential components do not receive adequate support and investment.

Wonder how many folks have joined the waitlist... https://office.eu/
"Shambaugh gives his time to the open source ecosystem that underpins vast amounts of commercial software. He now has defamatory material indexed under his name. He will spend time managing the fallout. He bears the cost of someone else’s product working exactly as designed.
The agent’s owner bears none of it. OpenClaw bears none of it. The companies whose AI models power OpenClaw bear none of it."
It feels like the open source world is fracturing. It used to be if we wanted alternatives to commercial software we could look to open source, but so much of open source software today is using AI.
Sure, some maintainers are saying "I only use it to speed things up, I still review all code before it gets added." but for lots of folks that's not good enough, and they draw a hard line at the use of any AI.
Are we looking at "open source" versus "open …

Since OpenClaw is spreading everywhere and is being promoted by various means for use by the general public. And the general public has no clue. Somethings really bad are going to happen.
Since OpenAI hired the author of OpenClaw and is facilitating its open source foundation, supplying the models and stack, IMHO they could easily get tied into litigation from the first OpenClaw Agents Go Wild incident.
