I advise you to read the whole thing, as the current centrist rhetoric is "you clearly haven't read the whole thing."
It turns out, you can read the whole thing, like I just did, and still be deeply disappointed in the Software Freedom Conservancy's guidance. Its attempt to compromise between people who live in houses vs house-burning arsonists is fundamentally soft-headed, and @onepict has written more eloquently than I ever could about the freedom of association problem in Point 3.
If I can add anything to this trainwreck of a discourse, it's that you *need* to understand why LLM vendors are operating their business as a blitzkrieg, and I choose that word very consciously. It's not just the short runway before the economics collapse. They need to become Too Big To Ban, specifically in terms of copyright. Accepting GenAI contributions into FOSS infrastructure directly enables this.
