    The law fortunately does not require payment before you have any moral responsibility to others.

    You can’t put “free apples!” outside your farm, and then when people who eat the actually poisoned apples die say “well, did they pay me for them?”

      Nobody died.

      The equivalent would be putting free apples with a sticker on them saying “please squeeze the juice out of these apples all over your shirt”.

        Also, the EPL-2.0 license Jqwik is released under explicitly states there is no warranty and the author can’t be held liable for anything you do with the software (like feeding it to an LLM)

        I wasn’t commenting on the specifics of this case; just that the general provisional that offering something for free absolves you off any responsibly is completely wrong.
