Finally someone said it. I honestly was wondering why no one was complaining about this... I've worked on some open source myself, licensed it GPL, and never intended for it to be used as training data.
Doesn't the GPL cover shit like this? There should be mass lawsuits hitting any AI that used open source software and didn't just specifically use BSD projects or something.
If you train an LLM on GPL code, it should be illegal to sell that LLM and use it commercially without revealing ALL THE SOURCE you used and the source to regenerate that model.
I hope it'll happen eventually.
Currently the USA (and that's where most of this shit comes from) is aggressively pro AI to the point of breaking the law with government support.
BTW what OP says has happened to Linux (at large) through Google/Android, too. The GPL hasn't stopped them but surely put some limits on their exploitation of FOSS
Also if that LLM is used to generate code - that code must also be GPL.
I'd love to see lawsuits force Microsoft and Nvidia and OpenAI to open source everything they had AI touch 😁
Yeah I mean they train ai on commercially copyrighted stuff like books that they straight up pirate so if that doesn’t stop them the open source community certainly won’t
You could have chosen a different license than the GPL.
No. Didn't you read the license you used?
