Unless the value of the company is based on one product with alleged copyright infringement.

OpenAI has one asset: GPT.

>Commercial use does not automatically make the use copyright infringement, but it is an important deciding factor.

That says nothing about the value of the company.

If it's an infringement when OpenAI does it, it would be an infringement when a company with 1/1000th the value did it.
