Opensource

Thanks for sharing the actual license text.

To me, this stinks of companies knowing that if they're actually required to reproduce the data, they'll get hit with copyright infringement or other IP-related litigation. Whereas if they can just be trusted to very honestly list their sources, they can omit the sources they weren't authorized to steal and reproduce content from, they can get away with it.

I think that, in practice, this means that the industry standard will be to lie and omit the incriminating data sources, and when someone tries to reproduce the model they won't actually be able to, but they also won't be able to easily prove one way or another if data was withheld.

Really, what should (but won't) happen, is that we should fix our broken IP laws and companies should be held to account for when they engage in behavior that would be prosecuted as piracy or Computer Fraud and Abuse if you or I did it.

AI is pretty much the epitome of companies getting to act with impunity in the eyes of the law and exerting that power over everyone else, and it's annoying to see it get a blessing from an "open source" organization.
