Fork of Text Generation Inference.

Published by Nikola Borisov on August 9, 2023, the text discusses the decision by a team to fork the text generation inference project initially by Hugging Face due to a change in its licensing from Apache 2.0 to a more restrictive version with v1.0.0. This fork aims to maintain the project under the original Apache 2.0 license, keeping it open source and encouraging community contributions. The article highlights a growing trend where popular open-source projects alter their licenses after gaining traction, posing challenges for developers who have integrated these projects into their applications. The author expresses concerns over mid-flight license changes as they can disrupt users, using examples like MongoDB, Grafana, and ElasticSearch, and speculates on the impact if similar changes were made to projects like PyTorch or Transformers. The team offers support via their Discord server and provides a link to the forked project's code, hoping to foster a community dedicated to truly open-source development.
