       @larsmb They are committed to a better world, but their scope is limited to what can be enforced with a software license. To not understand those limits is like sending police officers to stop crime -- into active warzones.

       @larsmb @futureisfoss That is not really a counter argument: Palantir/X cannot be made illegal by a license. National law trumps license terms.

       @larsmb @gentoo Adding licensing terms while being aware that they will not be enforced as intented is careless: They still will be enforced in ways _not_ intended -- so all you can practically achieve is a loss. That is ... maybe not "unethical", but certainly hazardous. If you think they wont be abused, you certainly lack the imagination & ruthlessness of lawyers and legislators in precisely those environments that you would care about.(*)Get over the fixation with licenses. FLOSS licences are great to limit the damages that _other licenses themselves_ might cause. For creating a better world _beyond_ licenses, dont abuse licenses. They are not the right tool.(*) First use would be to forbid the "terror org Antifa" use of fediverse, OTOH Palantir gets a national security exception.

       @larsmb @gentoo From the FSF: "However, they do not require anything that is really necessary for users to control their computing done with machine learning, including: *complete training inputs* [...] the source code of software [...]. Thus, RAILed machine learning [...] most probably will be [...] unethical. Use restrictions do not prevent these licenses from being used to exercise power over users."So the FSF calls them unethical not because their terms are too strong, but because those terms are _too weak_ to address the problem. That is entirely reasonable, however also more ambitious for a properly ethical license for AI models.
