Jiří Eischmann<p>I wonder if we should have <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GPL</span></a> 4 that would cover machine learning. Something like "if this code is used to train an LLM, then the code produced by the LLM must be released under the same license". I know there are many challenges, such as effective enforcement, but if this issue remains unaddressed, I believe LLMs may become a way to evade license virality.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freesoftware</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/licensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>licensing</span></a></p>
