That is the problem. MIT isn't GPL. In our new AI powered future, we want the source so we can fix it ourselves.

MIT is a source code license. If you have MIT licensed source code then you already have the source code and can fix it yourself. No different than GPL.

Sudo is already MIT. What are you concerned about here? Why hasn't it already happened?

Well, in the AI-powered future, you can reverse engineer and patch about anything without the source, too. That's not an argument against the GPL, but everything you can download is now effectively source-available for a modest fee to an inference provider.

GPL would be ideal, MIT is okay, but in our new AI-powered future, we may not even need the source code:

Maybe all software will become open source or free software?
