Hey, author here.

I understand that its not very clear if the neural net and its weights & biases are considered as IP, I personally think that if some OpenAI employee just leaks GPT-4o it isn't magically public domain and everyone can just use it. I think lawmakers would start to sue AWS if they just re-host ChatGPT. Not that I endorse it, but especially in IP and in law in general "judge law" ("Richterrecht" in german) is prevalent, and laws are not a DSL with a few ifs and whiles.

But it is also a "cover my ass" notice as others said, I live in Germany and our law regarding "hacking" is quite ancient.
