This occurred in response to Anthropic cracking down on a similar loophole, which tbh made me take it as more of an opportunistic marketing opportunity rather than a generalizable position.
Not disagreeing with you (and based on your other comments you're probably aware of this info) - just adding context on why this is a pretty interesting gray area and I'm similarly curious whether OpenAI will explicitly allow, disallow, or maintain ambiguity towards it.
In which OpenCode "collaborates" with OpenAI to support login with ChatGPT Pro/Plus (through this exact method!)
Not exactly proof that this method is "OpenAI allowed" but it's a good sign at least.
