I don't personally feel like code has any inherent value. You can't "steal" my code unless you repeat it verbatim under a new license, which is illegal with or without AI. I've known the stakes since before AI existed, and the prominence of LLMs doesn't scare me away from open source.

It's up to you. Stallman argued that the greatest value code has is it's utility to others. The "holy grail endgame" of open source is zero-margin software production that completely displaces the need to generate value with software. If AI pushes us closer to that world, then I can sleep well feeding it code.

I'm hesitant because my SAAS might become profitable. Lol.

But then it fails and I make it open source to add to my portfolio.

Well it would have to recreate the entire projects, no? Then they get to maintain it. That seems like a high bar.

And if it’s open source under Apache/MIT license I could care less about people getting snippets from my code.

The point of releasing my source code is that I want other people to use it, and I don't really care whether they do that directly or indirectly.
