because my country isn't protecting my freedom, it's killing schoolgirls in a country we had a perfectly fine agreement with four years ago

''Now, the total population of well-off countries in the world is about 1 billion, while China has more than 1.3 billion people. If we are all to become modernized, the well-off population must more than double. If we are to consume as much energy in production and daily lives as the present well-off people do, all the existing resources in the world would be far from enough for us! The old path seems to be a dead end. Where is the new road? It lies in scientific and technological innovation, and in the accelerated transition from factor-driven and investment-driven growth to innovation-driven growth.'' -Xi Jinping, Governance of China

Rather, in what way is any generic closed claw, or NemoClaw, so much better than an open variant that it's worth using? I consider phoning home for inference about (all of the contents of my computer, email ,etc) a very large downside.

Maybe I'm reading wrong here, but what's the implication of the clean room re-implementations? Someone else is cloning with a changed license, but if I'm still on the GPL licensed tool, how am I "not protected"?
