alt Hacker NewsWhy do providers even matter? They are nearly identical weights produced from mostly overlapping corpa. You can reduce it to two instances but that only shows how fishy this copyright-laundring is.

Well since most providers have cross session memory or things like it, using another provider would ensure you aren't leaking any information from the first step to the second step aside from the spec produced in the first step.
The reason it's not "fishy laundering " is fundamental to copyright: copyright protects expression, not ideas. That's why in cases where expressing the same idea would result in the same text, the courts have ruled that the expression is not copyrightable rather than that this gives a monopoly to the first person to copyright it.
