This is a fantastic teardown of the RAIL licences for AI which explains how they are enforceable, looks at options for fixing them and concludes with a discussion of why licensing is just the wrong approach.

It's not software, so it's fine to use that license. But v4 was open source under SIL OFL 1.1.

I'm not a legal expert, but this seems to be source-available with a generous free license. Hence, open-washing? 🤔

Thoughts?

Tell me you don't care about without telling me you don't care about open source.

Unsurprisingly, this comes from the developer relations guy.

All the companies are trying to normalize it, supporting each other with nonsense PR.

The is that they never cared about open-source ideals. They only cared about free labor and market share.

CLA MUST state under which license it is made and which kind of licenses it can be moved to (OSI-approved and/or GPL type, if you intend it to remain Open Source).

I'm not sure what to hink about the blog post about shifting away from MPL to BSL. I'm not concerned (for now) that the freely-available Terraform, Vault, and Packer binaries are going away, so selfishly I can say I'm not directly impacted at work at at home as a result of this decision.

I just wish there was a bit better communication on the reasons behind the decision and its impact. As it stands, it feels like Sid from Toy Story.

Can you imagine if all Machine Automation written using public without having explicitly sought the author's permission had to be published under the licence?

> Whatever has been going on until now with data slurping in the interests of bombarding us with microtargeted ads is small stuff compared to the accelerating acquisition for the purpose of feeding AI models. Arguably, AI could be a public good in the long term as it improves, and therefore allowing these companies to access all available data for training is in the public interest. But if that’s true, then the *public* should own the models, not the companies. Why should we consent to the use of our data so they can sell it back to us and keep the proceeds for their shareholders?

FAMU football players allowed a rapper into their locker room to make a video, allowing unauthorized access and violating licensing agreements. Coach suspended activities for 2 days while "respecting free expression." Is the 1st Am even relevant here?
