If non profits are allowed to become for profit entities it breaks the entire system. Then every startup should start as a non profit, allow everyone to write off all of their investments, operate with no taxes, and once they are big enough switch to a for profit entity.

They were publicly demonstrating the exact same thing now called "copyright abuse" with the Davinci model, nobody seemed to care until ChatGPT came out for free without needing paid API access.

That doesn't make it legally ok, but it does make their initial (though not subsequent) surprise forgivable.

Their own later self, and everyone else copying the same behaviour, not so much.
