Why aren't people moving away from Github? There's Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What's holding them back?

How does that interplay with the whole "Corporations are people" and if the corporation owns the llm, it could theoretically claim ownership of what the llm generates? (To be clear I agree with the decision that ai shouldn't get a copywrite and don't think corporations are people but I am genuinely curious)

    dunno. I'm not an IP lawyer. however i've read a few case summaries where they've tried to say putting inputs into an LLM gives copyright and the courts ruled it didn't. if it doesn't work for humans, it doesn't work for corporations either.

    granted, the area of law i work in, there's lots of difference between legal outcomes if you're merely set up as a partnership instead of a corporation so who knows.
