The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has responded to the Bartz v. Anthropic copyright settlement by urging Anthropic and other LLM developers to release their models as free software, including training data, model weights, configuration settings, and source code. The FSF received a settlement notice after one of its licensed works was found in Anthropic's training datasets. While acknowledging it lacks resources for a legal battle, the FSF stated it would seek user freedom as compensation if it were to pursue litigation. The Register notes the demand is unlikely to be met, given how extensively AI vendors have already used open-source materials.
