@maija @VIPPER >your
11/10 bait, made me reply.
>no its not that's why it's called open
Link me to the source code of GPT4 or whatever then.
>are you stealing code by following a programming,
Copying code is not theft, but it's copyright infringement if you don't follow the license terms.
If you copy free software and turn that into proprietary software, what you are doing is theft of freedom.
>this is only copying in the same sense that having seen code before to know what you're doing is copying
You look at the output and then search for it and then surprise, surprise you find it's pretty much a 1:1 copy with some trivial changes like slightly different variable names or a wrong license on top (as there's a certain amount of noise).
If you know what you are doing, you can write good code and you won't need to go and copy-paste someone else's code.
>world courts agree with this.
Courts mostly agree with whoever has the most money, even if they are agreeing about something false.
