Has it been established if the weights can even be copyrighted? My impression has been that AI companies want to have their cake and it it too, on one hand they argue that the models are more like a database in a search engine, hence are not violating copyright of the data they have been trained with, but on the other hand they argue they meet the threshold that they are copyrightable in their own right.

So it seems to me that it's at least dubious if those restricted licences can be enforced (that said you likely need deep pockets to defend yourself from a lawsuit)
