    You can’t stop someone from forking your code as long as they follow the rules of the license, like crediting you

    In that case,though, you’re still respecting the wishes of the person applying that permissive license consensually, though.

    That’s VERY different from mass harvesting all data without permission (or credit) for profit, which would probably be against the terms of even the most permissive licenses.

      Their claim was they followed the licenses and only used code they were implicitly allowed to use. I’d like to see if that was just astroturf and bullshit.

      Honestly, though this is one of the reasons why people prefer copyleft and avoid permissive licenses, because yeah anyone can profit monetarily off your work otherwise.

        Was likely bullshit. Just like just about everything else people behind for profit LLMs say about their business practices.

        I’d like to see if that was just astroturf and bullshit.

        Almost certainly

          Sure but you moved the goalpost from ‘‘they weren’t allowed’’ to “they aren’t being honest”. There’s people in this thread who are in the repos, so we can find that out without assuming.

          Also, at least their model is opensource and can easily be selfhosted on consumer hardware. Helps with your datacenter point from earlier. Like if this project does what it says its supposed to do, it’s genuinely interesting. If they are pushing the boundaries of permissive licensing then yeah that is really concerning.

            No. I included the lack of honesty in my original explanation.

            If anyone’s moving goalposts, it’s you with your constant shifting from one point to the other to excuse their behavior.

            If they are pushing the boundaries of permissive licensing then yeah that is really concerning.

            Unless OP is a total lie, they clearly are.
