Supposedly this model also aims to treat publishers of all sizes well. Looking forward to its launch soon :)

Maybe it's time to acknowledge that current copyright laws do more harm than good and put another framework in place.

This is not an open source model. In that sense I think the sovereign claim is a bit strange. It's the data providers that determine access to the model.

Is it a proposal or a model? And if it is a model, how fies it fare on benchmarks?

So it's a model that's sovereign as in sovereign kingdom of the Netherlands vs sovereign for the people's?

They’re building a competitive-quality model, from scratch, with fair compensation to content owners, for €13.5 million? Something’s wrong with this picture.
