Models never touch the GPL licensed code. Invidious/yt-dlp are GPL compliant because it pulls data from a proprietary service, but everything that happens with the data pulled from the API is open source. What Calibre does is it has an option (that users can easily ignore) to make a request to OpenAI/Anthropic/openrouter/deepseek/etc to perform actions. None of the code from any model provider touches the Calibre codebase. It’s just an API call (again, like yt-dlp or whatever frontend of the week).

Oh ya that makes sense.
Too bad the calibre Dev didn’t just make this feature an add on.
Thankfully it’s very easy to not use
