The right thing being, in this foss context even, to poison the contributions you make to the human technical and cultural record.

Seems more like petty vandalism.

What's poisoned? There's a disclaimer that coding agents shouldn't touch it and some prompt injection stuff that honestly AIs should have defenses for already before you're letting them work with third party code. Nothing really gets damaged?

Even if the prompt actually did work it would just stop the agent from implementing this specific testing framework, which is on the level of making your library incompatible with another or something.

I mean, the prompt says delete just his code, if he made it clear in the license agreement that you're not supposed to use it, and you use it anyway... Then it sounds like he's in the right.

He's right to be scared of lawyers though.

Isn't the general consensus that people look above the line for the license agreement and don't read the fine print?

[TurdF3rguson]

I think it's worse than that with vibe coding, they often don't know what libs are getting installed. So what are you supposed to do to stop agents from using your lib (which IMHO you should be able to do)?
