Luanti removed from Google Play due to baseless AI copyright notice

Luanti, a popular open-source voxel engine, was delisted from the Google Play Store following a dubious copyright notice generated by Tracer AI. The automated claim appears to be completely baseless, highlighting the growing friction between legacy copyright enforcement tools and open-source software. Developers are increasingly worried that automated 'dead-internet' legal bots are becoming a systemic risk for legitimate apps.
