Thank you for putting your ass on the line and deciding to challenge $megacorp on their claims of owning the copyright on NN weights that have been trained on public (and probably, to some degree, also copyrighted) data. This seems to very much be uncharted territory in the legal space, so there are a lot of unknowns.
I don't consider it ethical to compress the corpus of human knowledge into some NN weights and then closing those weights behind proprietary doors, and I hope that legislators will see this similarly.
My only worry is that they'll get you on some technicality, like that (some version of) your program used their servers afaik.
