> If they didn't want us to use other people's ideas without permission then why did they use other people's ideas without permission to make the ideal tool for using other people's ideas with permission?

Because they're all about what's best for them.

I don’t think it’s about what Anthropic does or doesn’t want us to use their tools for. They are in the business of selling compute via AI, the more people that use it the better.

This is about stopping future issues (real or perceived) that could lead to legislation curtailing usage of their tools.

They want them to steal everything, they just don't want us to.

These days? This is how spotify was found. Its same playbook. Steal everything and then do regulatory capture.
