We spread free software for multiple purposes, one of them being the free software ethos. People using that for training proprietary models is antithetical to such ideas.

It's also an interesting double standard, wherein if I were to steal OpenAI's models, no AI worshippers would have any issue condemning my action, but when a large company clearly violates the license terms of free software, you give them a pass.

If GPT-5 were "open sourced", I don't think the vast majority of AI users would seriously object.

		OpenAI got really pissy about DeepSeek using other LLMs to train though. Which is funny since that's a much clearer case of "learning from" than outright compressing all open source code into a giant pile of weights by learning a low-dimensional probability distribution of token sequences.

I can't speak for anyone else, but if you were to leak weights for OpenAI's frontier models, I'd offer to hug you and donate money to you.

Information wants to be free.
