Isn't it basically settled that model weights can't be copyrighted as they don't pass the threshold of originality?

That doesn’t sound right. The weights are incredibly valuable and expensive to train.

		Looks like the consensus is much more leaning into the direction of non copyrightable.

yes. I don't understand why people are saying these licenses matter. Much of these terms are likely unenforceable.

In EU especially it's already settled, afaik, as are direct model outputs

		Its actually not settled yet wrt copyright. However, there is a more straightforward solution. The allows general use inside a company. The license blocks the "Model-as-a-Service". So instead, any GPU holder can provide a 'Infrastructure-as-a-service' and have clients provide the model, and then tell the clients that as an optimization they can also provide just the hash and they'll load it from their memory. I think its good that this license pushes the ecosystem towards such a generic-utility framework, but as a moat to protect a business its banking on most companies being lazy and wasteful. That pays off more than people like to admit.
