Open Source License Compliance — can I sell AI-generated images commercially

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 11 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
