This I can very much understand. I agree that this would've been the way to at least partially settle this. But then people will say "What about all the hard work of the employees / teams at Microsoft/OpenAI? Should they not get a return on their investment of time & money?"

In that case, something like the capped profit model OpenAI has (but with less profits) could work. They decide "Okay after we've reached this amount of money for Copilot, we'll both profit and have enough money to sustain it as a service until the next technological breakthrough makes this obsolete"

Then just make it free for everyone forever.
