The latest commit in the repo is the license change. Go back one commit and you get the Apache licensed version. https://github.com/light-cloud-com/ice/tree/cbf1355bd1a14206...

I'd be pretty annoyed if it was burning my Claude Code quota.
So far it's burned through 45% my design quota. On a positive note, I finally have my fonts rendering. I'm still waiting for it to figure out how it mangled the SVG versions of my logo. I've watched it trying a lot of stuff for 20 minutes and now I've got something that's not my logo.

I know it is against the ToS. I've reported multiple organisations doing this. Last time I reported one, support closed the ticket saying the activity is off platform so they can't do anything.

Last week I released Gata Router - https://github.com/gata-router
Gata is an open source automated L1 ticket triage tool for Zendesk. It costs pennies per ticket for it to route tickets to the correct team.
During development I was regularly seeing over 90% accuracy. The average for humans is 60-80%.
The whole thing runs in your AWS account.
There's more information in the release announcement - https://www.proactiveops.io/archive/meet-gata-the-automated-...

A few times I've wondered, where would Docker Inc be today if Microsoft acquired them back in 2017?
Early 2017 was peak Docker and Docker Inc. Those were the days. Container hype was everywhere. Before moby. Before all the pivots.
Microsoft was embracing open source and the cloud. They were acquiring dev tools.
It was a missed opportunity for both companies.

> This seems more like having several random contractors who you've never met coming into your business in the middle of night. [...] Agencies that routinely swap workers into or out of various roles at your company without asking or telling you, so you don't have any idea who the person working in the office is, what they're doing, or even if they're supposed to be there.
Sounds very similar to how global SIs staff enterprise IT contracts.

Very cool. There's an impressive number of little details. My favourite is that the Paint app actually works.

I'm starting to sense a pattern with this project.
They've squashed the history to hide their earlier "error". This isn't compliant with section 5a of the GPLv3[1].
"sketchy at best" is a polite description of this pattern of behaviour.

It isn't unheard of for 2 companies to announce a shutdown on the same day. What is less common is for them to both announce it on the same day and last day isn't 4 weeks/30 days.
When I saw this announcement after seeing pocket earlier, I immediately started to wonder if there was a regulatory change on 8 July.

Not just Tokyo or Japan. It is the same in Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, big cities in China and more.
