They’re the ones who are putting the open-source base models out in the first place. If I write a program myself and release it as open source, I have every right to subsequently release a closed-source version. But I can’t rescind the license on the version I released previously (any open source license with a clause allowing that should be treated with immense suspicion) so anyone else can keep building on that version if they want.
I know the pitchforks are sharp and the torches are burning especially hot right now, but just yesterday those implements were being aimed at the payment processors that were once again throwing their weight around to censor the services that used them, in this latest case Steam. A bill like this one would help enable stablecoin alternatives to those payment processors to become more widespread. There may be some pieces of baby in this bathwater.
My main concern after reading about this bill in a bit more detail is that it doesn’t look very friendly for decentralized stablecoins, which I prefer over the centralized ones. But it’s a start. It seems to just ignore the centralized ones, it doesn’t actually prohibit or hinder them.
