I call bullshit:
"The simple fact remains... it allows you to build an AI system binary from proprietary data sources and call the result 'open source,' and that's simply wrong. It damages every established understanding of what 'open source' is, all in the name of hoping to attach that brand to a 'bigger tent' of things."
An open source database is still open source sans data. Like an AI it’s useless sans data. Amazon’s argument, at best, is non-sensical.
Or, according to Amazon, social media software isn’t open source if you have no subscribers.
As you see, this is a simplistic and silly argument. Like arguing a compiler isn’t open source unless you have something to compile. Goofy.
