@emptywheel@normative Specifically, code is not "factual" speech which is often compelled, but creative speech. -
@emptywheel@normative It's like a court order telling JK Rowing to write an 8th book in her Harry Potter series. -
@emptywheel@normative I don't think non-programmers appreciate how much writing software is a "creative" act. -
@ErrataRob I'm a non programmer (albeit genetically a programmer, if it's a dominant gene). But I am sympathetic@normative -
@emptywheel@normative Can AWA mandate JKRowling write another HP book? Could it dictate that this time, Voldemort is the good guy? -
@emptywheel@normative I license software hackers use -- could AWA mandate that I stick a backdoor in that software? -
@emptywheel@normative (backdoor from the point of free-speech, I mean, not from any other legal issue)
