i honestly do not know what is worse from the three realistic alternatives:

1- to have large corporations and people with privileged access to them have these models exclusively and have them collaborate as a clique

2- to have those models openly released to everybody, or de-facto released to everybody as they leak in short order

3- to have the people who think releasing models is a bad thing simply not release them and work alone in their proprietary solutions, as the smaller companies and hobbyists do collaborate

i say let them have a go at number 3 and see how that works for them - shades of "Microsoft Network" vs Internet all over again
