Well they didn’t pay me. But still used all my open source mit and agpl, gpl icensed code to train their model. And now I need to rent their compute back.
That’s settlement, not a payment for the stolen goods. If I steal your shit, and to avoid going to jail I offer you some money, I am not paying for what I stole, I’m paying to avoid further consequences.
Well, they did pay, just after the fact.

I mean sure, Anthropic are pricks, but “they did exactly what the license I put on my code said they could” is probably not the way to highlight that.
My bad. I actually meant agpl. And gpl. You’re right to point out the that mit is fine. Which is true. Mit can be used for whatever.
But my for example my WineGUI project is agpl. Pretty sure those Ai companies used all open source code regardless of the license.
I’m actually also fine if they trained on my agpl code. But then they should have open sourced their models and data. And their whole project.
