It's publicly funded government project right? so it's not like OpenAI.

The government frequently licenses technology they fund to the private sector. It’s the whole point.

Well this isn't private sector right? CERN is nothing like OpenAI.

You’re right CERN is nothing like OpenAI because the private sector has no use for knowing what a Higgs boson is. But they do have parents https://patents.justia.com/assignee/cern
By law in most countries they are required to license and lease out these things to the private sector. They can’t do patent sitting to sniffle the private sector. So whatever they figure out would be required to go into for profit hands
