   The board is incorrect. The OSI has corrupted the term Open Source by allowing those who want to propagate AIs that launder Open Source and proprietary code/data alike to do so under the banner of "Open Source". In particular, the so-called "Open Source AI" definition permits calling an AI "Open Source" even if it was trained on Open Source code or data and the license of its weights and outputs completely ignores the license of its training data.
   
   This is an attempt to normalize the unacceptable practice of letting AI launder away the licenses of its training data, and to continue the practices of establishing "facts on the ground" that augur towards being able to continue ignoring the licenses of training data. The flagrant behavior of current AI training should not be allowed to continue, and should not be treated as a valid negotiating position from which to "compromise". Do not normalize the violation of Open Source licenses.

     The board is confident that the process has resulted in a definition that meets the standards of Open Source as defined in the Open Source Definition and the Four Essential Freedoms, and we’re energized about how this definition positions OSI to facilitate meaningful and practical Open Source guidance for the entire industry.” https://opensource.org/blog/the-open-source-initiative-announces-the-release-of-the-industrys-first-open-source-ai-definition #OpenSource

     @josh @osi Ah yes ... always good to get reminded that it is software freedom that matters, not what might be practical. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html #OpenSource misses the point ... #SoftwareFreedom for the win.

     @osi It does not meet the definition whatsoever and you know it. It promotes violation of every single actually-Open-Source license out there and you know it. But you wanted a piece of the latest scam pie and the people who actually make Open Source (a term I'm likely to stop using now) don't matter in the slightest to you.
