It’s a really interesting tendency. People treat GPL as more restrictive than the lack of a license. I was wondering about this in the thread on GPT-J last night. Maybe it’s easier to see an issue when the GPL specifically lays out the creator’s intent, compared to the nebulous intent and law that underlies unlicensed content. GPL focuses the discussion on a concrete license rather than the entire body of IP law around fair use. Or maybe it’s just easier to see an issue when it’s “our” community’s content being used.
