Thanks everyone for your active participation here. We knew this would have a lot of interest and so we’ve waited to dive into the conversation because we see some themes emerging that I’ll respond to broadly here. The main concerns I’m noting are around the license agreements we declare, our use of data for AI, and our Acceptable Use Policy. Below are a few clarifications to each of these areas.

Should that license then also clarify that the kernel will not clean my dishes for me?

Not having some feature/behaviour doesn't need a license. A license, a form of contract, is only necessary when two or more parties interact. I interact with Mozilla when I download and install Firefox, so I have to conform to some distribution license for example. Maybe they restrict me from redistributing the binary they provide me (made-up example). But after that, I no longer interact with Mozilla, so anything I do with Firefox should not require a license.

Of course it should. It should also clarify that you'll only get a blowjob on your birthday and you'll have to do your own taxes, you deeply unserious person. 🙄
