> people who open source their code do not care about profit

Not only are there businesses built around open-source work, but it used to be widely-accepted that publishing open-source software was a good way to land a paying gig as a junior.

I think that whether you need to continue working to afford to live is very relevant to discussions about AI.

Profits don't need to be direct - and licenses are chosen based on a user's particular open-source goals. AI does not respect code's original licensing.
