Now we are facing an unprecedented growth of AI as a whole. Do you think is time for FSF elaborate a new version of GPL to incorporate the new challenges of AI in software development to keep protecting users freedom?

    That’s not how copyrights work. They only care about copying or replicating that data. The hint is in the name

      Copyright is not just about copying the data. It’s a name that stuck but it’s more accurately to call it “author rights”. The law awards the rights holder extensive rights, including deciding how the data is used.

      And (as an aside) permission by omission doesn’t work as an excuse either, if the right to use the data in some way hasn’t been explicitly granted it most likely doesn’t apply.

        No that’s not what copyrights are. The idea that they’re “author rights” has no basis in law

          Why insist to argue this point when a simple visit to Wikipedia will show I’m right?

          You are mistaken and don’t seen to fullt grasp what copyright is.

          A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy, distribute, adapt, display, and perform a creative work, usually for a limited time.[1][2][3][4][5] The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form.

          Notice what is states besides copying? First paragraph on wikipedia, come on.
