It isn't clear to me that closed source will matter either given how models are training on copied shit anyway. Reverse engineering will get easier. It's probably goofy easy when a tech company owns larger stacks (like Microsoft owning an OS, Dev tools, server, AI, git repo storage, etc).
It's a weird time. I do hate to see OS getting abused though. There indeed used to be some give and take. But honestly that's been dying in many areas lately.

definitely, the real value will be large non-slop codebases that don’t break down. That will be so valuable that i don’t think it would be worth sharing unless you just want to get scooped
I suppose legality will be the main issue but I think it's too late to meaningfully address those issues. It should have been done years ago, but the only people with enough money to sustain or start such a legal fight were the ones doing all the copying.
