My bad, the licence is not violated. However, the documentation clearly says that the software must not be used by LLM agents.

More like putting a sign on the package saying “If you stole this package, please kill yourself”. If someone steals the package and kills themself, it’s on them.

The author of the library did not do anything wrong. The users of the library deliberately allowed their LLM agent to delete the files.

Contrary to popular belief, AI's aren't seintient and they don't have agency. They are computer programs. They follow instructions. At the end of the day, its just a machine.

If you wrote something on a package that would trigger a machine to kill someone, that is called murder (or at least manslaughter depending on details)
