My strategy to AI theft is to move the release of the source code as far away in time as possible. E.g, this is the approach for my DAW. I'll do the whole thing privately until it is just great enough to get the grip. This builds the community at fast rates, which also mitigates ther risk, and provides governance. It will be GPLv3 but as a in-dev project I'm more vulnerable.

@pinkforest deepest condolences with that.
In 2024 I made decision to stick GPLv3.
With my DAW I will be 100% GPLv3 including libraries. Makes my life easier i.e., less weird stuff.
And to keep pickiest of FSF happy I'll add small exception for loading (not distributing with) proprietary plugin through the CLAP host.
Complicating my life with LGPL2.1+ libraries is such energy loss for me. E.g., if there was incident it's one single blob with one license if I use GPLv3. Easier at latest at court.
Such incident would surely piss me off enough that I would not stop until I get justice no matter the cost...
