Yes, even if they did do that which they didn't, that is also what OpenAI, etc do with their models like GPT and Dall-E when infact they come off papers like Transformers is all you need and the same LMU paper.
Stability has done it better since they purposely acknowledge the researchers instead of the way the public domain research is just used to make their own model with no acknowledgements (no co created mention anywhere). OpenAI would say 'co created by Google' if they did.
