"End of Chinese OSS" claim pushed back: open models get license almost automatically
eliebakouch · x · 2026-10-16
eliebakouch pushes back on a viral take that a license proposal means "the end of Chinese open source":
- The proposal applies to both closed and open models;
- Open models would get the license almost automatically;
- It's only a proposal, not yet in place.
He argues most people will misread it as doomsday for Chinese OSS when the actual impact is overstated. The thread caught the attention of policy folks like Dean Ball.
