VM (Vicky) Brasseur<p>Well, this is worrying.</p><p>“If the appellate court upholds that decision, which endorsed database maker Neo4j's right to amend the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3, governing the use of its software with new binding terms, current assumptions about the enforceability of copyleft licenses will no longer apply.”</p><p><a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/27/adverse_appeals_court_ruling_could/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theregister.com/2025/02/27/adv</span><span class="invisible">erse_appeals_court_ruling_could/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vmbrasseur.com/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://social.vmbrasseur.com/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://social.vmbrasseur.com/tags/Licensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Licensing</span></a> <a href="https://social.vmbrasseur.com/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a></p>
John "Gozzy" Godsland<p>Has anyone done a legal assessment of the impact of Creative Commons licensing on LLM's? It seems to me that if an LLM ingests content that is CC BY it must include the Attribution on any output that used the CC content for training. It must also make that output available under the same license. Either CC licensing matters, or it doesn't.<br><a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/CreativeCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeCommons</span></a> <a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/Licensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Licensing</span></a> <a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://social.gozzys.com/tags/Copyleft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Copyleft</span></a></p>
Ross A. Baker<p>I had given up GitHub for non-work use, but I'm coming back with a project under an explicitly non-AI license.
