It’s open enough that a poor person working freelance for $5 per hour on the other side of the world can use it for free to enhance their work.

Sure you can bleat on and on that it’s not GPL blah blah.

But I see some VA’s who have English as a third language step up their game and be able to be more efficient?

They don’t have to pay a cent. Just have an internet connection and an e-mail address and they are on the same playing field as you.

That’s open enough for me. And for the vast number of people outside the HN ivory tower.

That's not the definition of open. Nobody is saying the tech is not useful. Of course is useful ! but is not open as the boast.

That’s like saying generative AI is not real AI.

It isn't. Having it be gratis doesn't make it more libre.
