This is one of the best defenses of GPL licenses that I have read. Usually I have steered clear of GPL licenses, even for my own projects — the software coming from my research field has been…low quality, to say the least. It would benefit my credibility as a researcher if more companies, individual, any project, were able to make better versions of the software, so I had chosen the most permissive (MIT) licenses in the hopes that people wouldn’t keep reinventing the wheel.
This has drastically changed in the past year, and many assumptions need to be reexamined.

Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project. We will work out specifics in case-by-case agreements, but a typical triggering condition might be “a better-than-even chance of success in the next two years.”
