And it's already published publicly at github.com/hpe/ in various repos
(there are 5 internal repos mirrored there that compose the entirety of
the driver). But, it's not about that. It's about which companies we
currently have a contract in place with, that's all. Well, that and the
fact that we aren't allowed to mix business and personal assets at all
for fear of data exfiltration, so even though I personally have a paid
Claude subscription for my own use, I'm not allowed to use it on company
projects, even when those projects are already fully published
externally already anyway.
