I’m pretty sure they’re covered by the so-called sui generis protection of databases within the EU/EEA at least. That one is about protecting the effort and investment, not originality of expression.

In EU especially it's already settled, afaik, as are direct model outputs

That doesn’t sound right. The weights are incredibly valuable and expensive to train.

yes. I don't understand why people are saying these licenses matter. Much of these terms are likely unenforceable.
