> What specific paragraph in the GPL prohibits training of AI on it? I guess it might be a matter of interpretation, but by my reading, it is allowed.
It's not a matter of interpretation - any derivative product is also GPL, and if you don't want the derivative product to be GPL, then don't use the original product.
Is reading source code using it? Can you restrict people from doing that? What actually makes a derivative work.
Can I put up a sign with a fact on it, can people who see the sign not use the fact unless they agree with my terms and conditions? That certainly would be the case if we went wiTh some sense of derived.
The law needs specifics for a reason, if it were down to what each individual felt it means in the moment it would be useless.
The most recent legal findings have said that training on legally acquired data does not violate copyright.
