It's just an indication to model trainers that they should take care to omit FSF software from training.
Not a nothing burger, but not totally insignificant either.
- mjg59 8mo agoIs it? The FSF's description of the judgement is that the training was fair use, but that the actual downloading of the material may have been a copyright infringement. What software does the FSF hold copyright to that can't be downloaded freely? Under what circumstances would the FSF be in a position to influence the nature of a settlement if they weren't harmed?
- jfoster 8mo agoIs harm necessary to show in a copyright infringement case?
- mjg59 8mo agoCopyright infringement causes harm, so if there's no harm there's no infringement. You can freely duplicate GFDLed material, so downloading it isn't an infringement. If training a model on that downloaded material is fair use then there's no infringement.
