Good for them. Hope more follow suit.

Yeah, donate to kde every now and then.

Why not use something else? I know what community this is but still. Internet Archive serves a lot of important purposes and they’ve got enough heat on their back as is.

I agree with the terms of service bit, but the hard part is going through the tos for so many different sites. Sort like how some open source code bases can’t re-license a code base because it is impossible to get into contact with all the people who have contributed to the project over the years. Online platforms already have certain protections from their users posting illegal content to their sites. We will have to see if that is extended to these large language models. When it comes to free use, there is no such thing. Free use must be proven in court. Each and every time. There are no guidelines on what is and isn’t free use when it comes to word of law, so that can swing either way. Just my two cents on the matter. Also, (inal).
