Indeed.
All the weights for all the models will be available one way or the other very soon.
The proprietary nature of the weights is not going to be a bottleneck for more than a month, if I had to guess.
The other bottle-neck to personal use — the hardware required to run (not train from scratch) the thing - is going to be gone within the year I bet. I would assume some clever bloke is going to be able to prune the model or decrease the precision of the weights and discover you can get good-enough results with 1/10th of the memory.

What happens then?
Well, probably some Very Bad Things.
