AI models _can_ be prepared with legally distributable content. And that would be very adequate in this context. If we had an LLM trained _only_, say, on the Wikipedia and the books of Project Gutenberg... Of course, it would not be a generally-queriable chatbot, but it could be just-enough for sustaining some level of dialogue. It could be distributed in our main section. And if you "post-train" that very little model with the domain-specific documents/knowledge you want to work in, you can find clear value off a truly-free LLM. Of course, I don't know if the training set I'm proposing would be anywhere near enough. And I cannot say we have buildds with enough GPU power to perform the training. But it's just an example that can surely be "beat into correctness".
