They can enforce their ToS however they like. It's their product and platform.

But we're against that, right? Or do we want a world where other companies' ToS also forbid open source software use if you use their product? After all, "it's their product", so if they want to say that you aren't allowed to use open source software, "they can enforce their ToS however they like". Or is it only Anthropic where we are OK with them forbidding open source software use with their product?

  • What we want is a world where there are enough options out there that if one doesn't like the ToS or even the name of an option, then it's trivial to select another option. No need for anyone to constrain anyone else.
