Dr. Arne, you have brought legal concerns and that that all stands.

Yet one thing is seriously important and forgotten, that such legal 
concerns are valid only if underlying datasets used to train LLM are 
non-free.

Today there are millions of LLMs and many of some important models have 
been trained on fully free datasets, thus using such represents one of 
legal solutions.
