Should charge AI for training on top of it or get them to donate. A small amount can fund them easily.

That would be a trap. It's healthier for a non-profit to have many small funders than a few large ones.

exactly, the only reason Mozilla exists today is as a legal shield against an anti-browser monopoly suit against Google. that's the product they sell, and Google is paying hundreds of millions per year for this valuable service

as if they would pay.... they would pirate the contents as they already did

I'm always grateful to arXiv. It allows non-scientists like me to access high-quality papers anytime. Thank you, always

That worries me a bit. ArXiv was and is great and so useful to humanity, giving access to otherwise closed knowledge, hold by publishers cartel, that I would not like to see it is turning into a "non-profit" of OpenAI kind...
