Shameless plug: I wrote a pair of articles for The Gradient that explores much of this area as well, called "Machine Learning, Ethics, and Open Source Licensing"[1][2]. I'd like to think those have a bit more depth and nuance. Long story short, while I don't personally find this to be a particularly well-written article, the author's not entirely wrong. Open source machine learning software and models, in particular, are presenting a number of new challenges in a variety of areas, including regulation, that many of our existing systems are poorly equipped to grapple with.
