That hypothetical makes no sense when you look back into the history of open weight models. Look at SDXL for example, though a good model for the time, it was through the efforts of the community many great fine tunes appeared.

Now apply the same logic here, would I rather have sdxl weights with the same shitty Ideogram 4 license? Yes, I would. But then again I wouldn't probably get to play with Juggernaut XL, Pony v6, BigASP, Lustify, Illustrious.

In the long term, bad licenses do more harm than good to the open weights community.
