The open source[0] is the only reason anyone has time to make most of the valuable free software. We can't all be like Donald Knuth or Simon Tatham making TeX and PuTTY as personal projects. [0] specifically the freedom to fork, to develop further, and to make new releases that others can also build upon, which means I aver that many of the public AI models are sufficiently open that they're de facto open source even if the licensing isn't there. Even if it's a de jure violation of the copyright to make a derivative, I'm not sure you could prove that had happened when all the weights are floating point numbers you can randomise slightly as a first step — if training just happens to move them back to the original values, well, that's just evidence the optimiser was working. |
