The problem is that it is a fool's errand to try to keep software tools from 'bad actors'. It is as pointless now as it was during the Crypto Wars. Information is simply too easy to move.

This is unrelated. The model is not being released directly - it's kept behind an API. You can't download the model and redistribute it like you can a piece of software, so the "information is simply too easy to move" ("information wants to be free") trope is a category error.

(don't mention distilling unless you understand why it's a different case than what's being described above)
