The LWN comments say that you are correct for local AIs (but not LLM services), modulo some caveats about compiler flags and hardware used.

rnnoise is now a free AI model for removing noise from audio. Firefox ships with Bergamot, which is a set of (probably) free AI models for translating between human languages. There might be other ones too, but I haven't looked very fa

RMS fought for user freedom, not to destroy copyright. Copyleft wasn't to neutralize copyright, but to ensure user freedom for downstream users.

Look up bunnie's talks about hardware security, its basically impossible, there are too many parts to the chain leading up to the end user holding hardware in their hands that are all attackable.

I think the same copyright concerns apply when working with binaries, which is why clean-room reverse-engineering was invented in the first place. So that no disassembled/decompiled code could be copied into the newly created codebase.
