Hi Guixy people,I’d never heard of SWH before I started hacking on Guix last fall, and it struck me as rather a good idea. However, I’ve seen some things lately which have soured me on them.
They appear to be using the archive to build LLMs: https://www.softwareheritage.org/2024/02/28/responsible-ai-with-starcoder2/
I was also distressed to see how poorly they treated a developer who wished to update their name: https://cohost.org/arborelia/post/4968198-the-software-heritag https://cohost.org/arborelia/post/5052044-the-software-heritag
GPL’d software I’ve created has been packaged for Guix, which I assume means it’s been included in SWH. While I’m dealing with their (IMO: unethical) opt-out process, I likely also need to stop new copies from being uploaded again in the future.
Is there a way to indicate, in a Guix package, that it should *never* be included in SWH?
Is there a way to tell Guix to never download source from SWH? I want absolutely nothing to do with them. Thanks, — Ian
