I wonder whether the motivation is really legal? I get the sense that some projects are just sick of reviewing crap AI submissions

This could honestly break open source, with how quickly you can generate bullshit, and how long it takes to review and reject it. I can imagine more projects going the way of Android where you can download the source, but realistically you can't contribute as a random outsider.

I've always thought that the possibility of forking the project is the main benefit to open-source licensing, and we know Android can be forked.

the primary benefit of open source is freedom

This is so tautological that I can't really tell what point you're trying to make.

how can it possibly be tautological? The comment just above me said something entirely different: that the primary benefit of open source is forking
