Anthropic sent a takedown notice to a dev trying to reverse-engineer its coding tool


Anthropic sent a takedown notice to a dev trying to reverse-engineer its coding tool. The developer community isn't terribly pleased.

That’s at least partly because Anthropic has issued takedown notices to a developer trying to reverse-engineer Claude Code, which is under a more restrictive usage license than Codex CLI. It’s a somewhat surprising PR win for OpenAI, which in recent months has shied away from open-source releases in favor of proprietary, locked-down products. It may be emblematic of a broader shift in the lab’s approach; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman earlier this year said he believed that the company has been on the “wrong side of history” when it comes to open source.
