Is there a license that states: if you use this data for ML training you must open source model weights and architecture?

- sillysaurusx 3y agoIt’s deeper than that. The basis of licensing is copyright. If the upcoming court cases rule in OpenAI’s favor, you won’t be able to apply copyright to training data. Which means you can’t license it. Or rather, you can, but everyone is free to ignore you. A license without teeth is no license at all. The GPL is only relevant because it’s enforceable in court. I’m sure some countries will try the licensing route though, so perhaps there you’d be able to make one. EDIT: I misread you, sorry. You’re saying that if OpenAI loses and license fees become the norm, maybe people will be willing to let their data be used for open source models, and a license could be crafted to that effect. Probably, yes. But the question is whether there’s enough training data to compete with the big companies that can afford to license much more. I’m doubtful, but it could be worth a try.

The irony of GPL, is that it's validity with respect to users is only now tested in court. https://www.dlapiper.com/en/insights/publications/2024/01/sfc-v-vizio-survives-motion-for-summary-judgment-on-third-party-beneficiary-issue https://www.dlapiper.com/en/insights/publications/2024/01/sf...
