So there have been discussions about how AI model weights may not be copyrightable because they are computer generated. Personally I disagree but there is not a clear court ruling yet and we'll have to see.
Nevertheless, practically all weights of any significance get released under various software-like licenses, either open source like Apache 2.0 or other more restrictive ones.
I wonder would this ruling be relevant to these AI weight licenses being enforceable as contracts, even if the weights cannot be copyrighted? If so, would it only work if the license actually conferred some benefit like with GPL? Any ideas?
