Nobody has been able to adequately explain how ai is violating any oss licenses.
You are explicitly allowed to read the source code.
When I read code under GPL source and write something like that under a different license, I'm legally liable for copyright infringement. Of course the original owners need to prove it first, but still there's problems from that.
Some open source projects outright disallow you from contribution if you tell them you're working on a closed source competitor.
Neat. But if you create your own version based off what you read that's fine. You can't copy it, but you can learn from it.
I can read the Linux source code and use it to create my own compatible kernel.
So? They can refuse submissions to their code but they couldn't stop you from using what you see to create your own product.
Really not sure what you’re getting at here.
I replied to you rather than the one you replied to by accident.
