        Out of curiosity, why AGPL specifically? Would licenses like GPL and BSD fail to achieve this?

          AGPL closes the loophole where companies run projects as a service at which point they’re not distributing the source. Plain GPL only requires source modifications to be contributed back if the code is being distributed.

            So, if you woud hypothetically run software over a network, you wouldn’t have to disclose the source under GPL, but under AGPL you would have to? Is that right?

    I thought they were always for profit.

    Edit: apparently they used to be but technically so are churches.

    They were never going to open source anything past gpt2 and the ‘open’ in their name is just to have a public image of them not being evil.

    OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit research organization by Altman, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, among other tech leaders.

    Yesh, definitely not evil

      Yeah, I think it was always obvious where this was headed. At this point they’re just a subsidiary of MS.
