So then it supports the sharing of code for anyone to use freely, which is the opposite of the "extinguish" strategy that microsoft did in the past.

> would you be OK with Microsoft effectively stealing that protected work

I think that copyright protections are way way to strong and I support making almost all of them useless and I support allowing people to side step copyright protections.

This is because I want more creative works to be freely useable by everyone. Especially for AI purposes, which is a highly transformative and powerful usecase.
