> not to undermine the national security and national unity
this is a required statement to conform with China’s constitution, or the superseding authoritative social contract there.
think of it like if the Patriot Act was an article of the constitution instead of a random law subservient to the constitution, it would negate other parts of the constitution that we hold near and dear.
this is a useful similarity as both constitutions have assurances of free speech
just one has a fatal heavily leveraged clause that undermines all other parts of that constitution and dictates all facets of life
This is interesting, thank you. But then how can any entity in the PRC contribute to open source? Alibaba, Baidu, etc. have released plenty of machine learning code under proper open licenses in the past (not to mention that we have hardware vendors in the PRC contributing to say Linux). The story I heard about GLM was that they were a high enough public profile project that it caught the attention of PRC bureaucrats that pushed for the clause to be included.
Regardless of the cause though, the clause flies afoul of any definition of open out there.
