The "data inputs" were also, very much, somebody's "value added" IP.
replyWe're talking about things like text people wrote, not some kind of raw data floating out in the ether.
Did I say there was no value add in the inputs?
replyOre has value, a different kind of value than the output of the refinery.
distillation has been around for 12 years. it's not new in terms of ML techniques.

although i doubt there has been a legal case over it yet in the context of the legality of stealing shit but IANAL.
Yes, I get that, but it's only now the issues are coming into the commons in a way that industry / society needs the regulatory clarity.
replyIt's completey insane that we still don't know how Open Source would work, that the laws are vague and we're still technically waiting for the courts to decide on cases.
The government should a) legislate and b) create test cases and run them through the courts so that we can have clarity.
Are you suggesting data input is further from IP than distillation?
replyThat would stun me, but it's a little hard to read.
Do you think writing books (and Wikipedia articles, and stack overflow articles, and github repos, and, and, and, and ...) is not a value add?? What terrible claim.
