We need to be the one in control of our computing for it to be 'our' computer, instead of Microsoft's. That requires being able to change what it does via the source code, and sharing those changes with others. Windows is proprietary, no source code and it's illegal to share it - it can never be 'your' computer like that.

This FAQ section affirms you can modify it but cannot call it GPL. Is there a distintion between modifying the GPL and including an extra term?

As I recall you can ignore and remove terms that contradict the freedoms granted by the GPL. We can't infridge trademark but we may be able to redistribute this without including that clause (if it violates the GPL).

Sometimes people say X has been open sourced but you check the license and it ain't. Here it's "GPLv3-or-later (🤓) + additional clause (🤔)". Section 7 had me worried but at first read it seems like trademarks and logos are included which thry don't want you to use as if you're Bohemia. I guess someone else could fork and remove all that.

It makes no sense to say to someone what they "should do" without the part where it's helpful to them flourishing or avoiding missery (i.e. morality). This can be expanded to include others in purely selfish terms.

There are no moral issues to AI if we ignore all negative ways it's creation (and use) affects people. Typical AI-creator take advantage of others' works on-mass while we've punished normal people harshly for far less infringement/social violations.

If the purpose of copyright is about encouraging human creativity then the AI generated elements which are clearly seperatable from human input should not be copyrightable? There can be creativity in writing promps but the resulting code output is not itself creative?
