Comment on Ask HN: Software Licenses that prevent LLMs from training on open source?

Comments

Unless your license is backed up by the legal wherewithal to enforce its terms, your choice doesn't matter.

There are is no Software License Enforcement Agency.

And by "legal wherewithal" I mean enough money to out lawyer the big AI companies who have many billions of dollars on the line and therefore a few billion for legal fees.

Also keep in mind that scraping by open-source projects is a proven tactic for corporate ingestion while generating plausible legal protection.

Good luck.

Good luck.
