Don’t be too eager! Weakened copyright doesn’t necessarily translate to an overall benefit, at least for software. Weakening copyright also weakens copyleft -

Don’t be too eager! Weakened copyright doesn’t necessarily translate to an overall benefit, at least for software.
Weakening copyright also weakens copyleft - for example, it seems reasonable to me that the producer of an open-source work should be entitled to require reciprocal openness from people who build upon it. If I can legitimately launder some GPL source code (say, a Linux kernel driver) through an ML model without being obliged to release the resulting code, I think everyone loses.
