If you read carefully this is actually very similar to the Steam news. I doubt Valve or GOG care, but generally the games are "sold" by the publisher as non transferable licenses for you to play them. So the part that matters isn't up to them.

Note the versions, none of the results give you the official operators page for the current version, 16. They give 9, which went EOL in 2021.
Have you tried recent models? They're not perfect no, but they can usually get you most of the way there if not all the way. If you know how to structure the problem and prompt, granted.
Them using Google indexes anonymously isn't intending to solve the problem you think it is. It's more about incentive structures. Google's "free" search optimizes for ad revenue now. The API access doesn't as much, and Kagi certainly doesn't have an ad incentive. So privacy is a nice bonus, but the real benefit is a customer serving incentive structure.
Wonder how we should interpret the country "XD" being on the list. As far as I can tell its never been used for any real country.
Funny how the DOS equivalent of ls is dir, so before the GUI folder metaphor.
A major caveat I've noticed some people misunderstand: it's corporate CLAs that are problematic. The Apache Foundation also requires contributors sign a CLA, but it's to provide a legal fail safe and a way to update to say Apache 3.0 if need be one day. Apache's non profit, open source mission aligns with respecting the rights of contributors and the community. Corporations, on the other hand, not so much.
Codeberg is run off of donations, they have no service contract revenue. Nobody, much less a volunteer, wants to commit to a 5 or 10 year service plan like that, it's not sustainable for a small project from a non profit.
CLAs can be abusive, but not necessarily. Apache Foundation contributors need to sign CLAs, which essentially codify in contract form the terms of the Apache 2.0 license. It's a precaution, in case some jurisdiction doesn't uphold the passive licensing scheme used otherwise. There's also a relicensing clause, but that's restricted to keeping in spirit, they can't close the source.
I use Kagi, they provide access to all the main models in a chat interface and have a mode that feeds search engine results to them. It's mostly replaced search engines for me. For programming work I find them very useful for using unfamiliar tools and libraries, I can ask it what I want to so and it'll generally tell me how correctly. Importantly, the search engine mode has citations. $25 a month, but worth it.
This must be pandering to shareholders, no company in their right mind would want to compete when Meta is selling their first party headset at a giant loss.
The moment that shocked me was when printers, network cards, and even motherboard integrated Ethernet didn't work on Windows without driver downloads but Linux was plug and play. Full reversal of the situation.
