Doesn't that cut both ways though? What prevents me from taking the code from dbt-fusion and AI-laundering it to include all the new features on a FOSS fork?

AFAIK AIs do not learn from the proprietary code.

What would stop them? AFAIK any and all data and content that can be obtained by any means is used in model training.

most models are built on theft anyway, especially if you take the GDPR viewpoint

Except the megacorps won't let you use their closed software for learning. They're fine to use others' copyrighted materials though.

There are plenty of US corporations who don't look further than a SOC2 report.

reverse engineering stays under "fair use" when it's for interoperability purposes

Which is an order of magnitude harder than reading the code.

Of course but the investments needed in obfuscations and the bugs introduced are orders of magnitude more important. It looks a lot like the struggle between ad providers and ad blockers - the ad blockers may be lagging behind but eventually they catch up. Same things with scrapping
