SFC Submits comments to US Copyright Office on Generative AI and Copyleft
We have responded to the Copyright Office's request for comments regarding machine learning and generative AI.
Our comments highlight how copyleft truly “promote[s] Progress in Science and the Useful Arts & that copyleft licensing should be specifically considered in any rulemaking or legislation.

SFC Submits comments to US Copyright Office on Generative AI and Copyleft
@conservancy really hard to understand this without context. How should copyleft be considered? What is compulsory licensing? What does it have to do with AI? What does it have to do with copyleft?
Not sure if this article was meant to be for people who are already in the know?
