Capital and power have always ignored the licenses when it suited them. Now they've figured how to automate the ignoring and provide it as a service.
I can't predict the future, but the licenses were never the important thing. The licenses were a communication to others that had to be fit into a legal framing. An invitation to collaborate, build, and learn together. We can still do that. Find the like minded people who want to work together.
And we don't have to start from scratch. Fork the repos before people involved anthropomorphized, stochastic parrots. Continue the work from there.
Opensource or free software was never the whole story. There was always more to do, and the opportunity is still there.
