If something was built by violating TOS' and you use that to do more TOS violations against the ones who initially did the TOS violations to build the thing, do they cancel out each other?

Not about GPT-OSS specifically, but say you used Gemma for the same purpose instead for this hypothetical.

Your TOS violations just have to enable you to get big enough to fund your own legal defense and pay typical corporate fines, and then you’re ok.

If you do it and give it away they will come for you.

You mean like an “unclean hands“ defense?
