      The company name is literally Malus

      On second thought people keep naming companies things like Palantir

      Definitely satire.

      “We had 847 AGPL dependencies blocking our acquisition. MalusCorp liberated them all in 3 weeks. The due diligence team found zero license issues. We closed at $2.3B.”

        There’s also the nice “trust us” under is it legal?

        Its a parody on how all of the data was stolen in the first place, also I caught some subtle nids to how fucked the maintenance will be.

      I have no idea, their website doesn’t seem to work very well on my phone, I can’t bring up their About Us or Privacy Policy / Terms of Service for some reason either.

      It’s real. It’s very real, they’re very transparent about how shady and horrible they are, and their entire process, and why it is technically not illegal, and how aware they are of all of it.

      Edit: I got got. Honestly, in this modern landscape, can you blame me for thinking people bragging about how they’re legally using AI to steal data were being satirical? The Onion notoriously can’t keep up with real world news, cut me a break.

        Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.
