Licensing is very important to open source. It is literally what drives and protects large scale open source innovation and stops it going extinct. It’s actually worth learning about GPL 3.0 and copy left licensing.

Anyway if that goes away. A lot of innovation will too. If privately owned LLMs go on consuming everything, not giving back to the communities that make them what they are. It may erode the system.

If there is no IP law there is no longer any need for Copyleft. Copyleft is a means to an end.

Lol but there will never be an end to IP law while there are people with money and influence. Utopia is an idea, not a reality.

Building a future world where every child has access to humanity's best information makes me jump out of bed in the morning.

I agree it's an absolute daunting task, convincing people this is the way. This new freedom will not be given to people by the powers that be, they must demand it.

But I do believe that a small group of people can change the world. It's just about getting that initial group going, and sparking a flame.
