Perhaps (quite probably) the original authors dreamt of some
openness. Then, big Microsoft money flowed in.

Those things happen time and again. Remember when Google had
"do no evil" as motto?

I'm not going into big depths here. One use of OpenAI's software,
though, has been discussed in this list: Github Copilot (a Microsoft
product). It uses all the software published under Github (even
that published under copyleft licenses) without even helping the
users to follow the license the software is coming from.

Microsoft says this is no problem. On the other hand, they don't
train Copilot with their own proprietary software (they seem to
see a problem there).

I'm convinced that they are trying to dilute the significance
of copyleft licenses. I don't think that's their main thrust,
but they see that as a collateral benefit.

This is, in my eyes, hostile to free software.

Cheers
