Not really my point. My point is more that you suggested no one has thought about this, but yes, they have.

To answer your question, there have been plenty of business who have created and published free software (albeit plenty have later closed them). Notable examples are Databricks, Hashicorp, Mongodb, RedHat.

Sure they've built a moat on top of their free software, but they have (or had) free software regardless.

i didnt say no one has thought about free software.

i said that this specific llm that output this article did not think about how the freedoms would work in todays gaming industry.

there are dozens of issues that immediately pop into my head, mostly specific to gaming, which are not mentioned or addressed at all.
