    Removing open source code from the Internet just isn’t possible

      Unfortunately, it’s possible if the project is small. Also, even if it’s big, people will be left with clones in different states and of different times, and it will require some coordination to put everything in order again.

      So to sum up, people will be forced to waste time, which also may be the goal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I have to think people have stored stuff in a blockchain somewhere. I wonder what the response to that is.

      It is if everyone’s too scared of getting sued to host it publically

      There’ll always be a way to get hold of the source but I’m not sure I’d trust some rando on some hidden back alley of the internet not to have messed with it somehow

        That’s what hashes are for.
