Indeed in a weird way, one can also argue that this state is the ultimate copyleft.
If anybody can create any software anytime, everybody gets a lot of the Four Freedoms of Free Software (change it to make it do what you wish, distribute your modified version, etc), without even "having the source".
And all the programmers constantly feeding their new code into training is the contorted version of GPL'ing it.
This is my belief. As I’ve said before, RMS would never need to write a printer driver if an agent could just RE it and write a replacement. Hell, I’ve now done that myself for a device that only had an old binary-only Linux driver.
