Eh, I wouldn’t call them assholes for that. I’m sure there’s a minefield of legal issues that could come up that is mitigated by releasing it to public domain. By the same logic, anyone can also take the code, modify it, then release their modifications with a copy left license.

How does this make them assholes?

Saying “it’s 2023” has no bearing on what is possible, seeing as how our society just lost 50 years of federally protected health and privacy rights. It’s 1972 to half the population now, not 2023.

Your argument “don’t do anything illegal and you won’t have anything to hide” is worthless to the half the population that had their rights to make their own health decisions stripped away from them.

Your statements are the Mason guy of the 40s anti-fascist propaganda.

You’re right, it’s 2023 and Roe v. Wade was recently repealed, what do you think about that?
