The Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license itself says that sharing (the S in CC-BY-SA), allows you to "copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially". On the face of it the OpenAI ChatGPT Terms of use seem similar, with Section 3 saying "you can use Content for any purpose, including commercial purposes". Unfortunately they then go on to say "Subject to your compliance with these Terms": 3. Content (a) Your Content. You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output generated and returned by the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own all Input. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, OpenAI hereby assigns to you all its right, title and interest in and to Output. This means you can use Content for any purpose, including commercial purposes such as sale or publication, if you comply with these Terms. OpenAI may use Content to provide and maintain the Services, comply with applicable law, and enforce our policies. You are responsible for Content, including for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. The same document lists some restrictions... 2. Usage Requirements (c) Restrictions. You may not (i) use the Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates any person’s rights; (ii) reverse assemble, reverse compile, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of models, algorithms, and systems of the Services (except to the extent such restrictions are contrary to applicable law); (iii) use output from the Services to develop models that compete with OpenAI; ... while the Usage policies list more. So in my opinion, and I am not a lawyer (IANAL) the OpenAI ChatGPT Terms of use is not compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. You can of course refer to ChatGPT as you would any other non Creative Commons site. If you disagree or would like to weigh in please discuss this on the mail list.
