The same can be said of the approach described in the article, the "GPLv4" would be useless unless the resulting weights are considered a derivative product.

A paint manufacturer can't claim copyright on paintings made using that paint.

    Indeed. I suspect it would need to be framed around national security and national interests, to have any realistic chance of success. AI is being seen as a necessity for the future of many countries ... embrace it, or be steamrolled in the future by those who did, so a soft touch is being embraced.

    Copyright and licensing uncertainty could hinder that, and the status quo today in many places is to not treat training as copyright infringement (eg. US), or to require an explicit opt-out (eg. EU). A lack of international agreements means it's all a bit wishy washy, and hard to prove and enforce.

    Things get (only slightly) easier if the material is behind a terms-of-service wall.
