      I think they’re playing the same game OpenAI is. Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.

      No, it’s not rational or ethical or reasonable, but it’s a thing, because Capitalism gotta Capitalism.

        Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.

        One of the saner reasons for this structure is that the non-profit owns the things the for-profit works on. If the for-profit goes under, all things are still owned by the non-profit, so some large tech company can’t swoop in and yoink anything available.

        This includes any and all data generated by the for-profit, which means your data is “safe”.
