ToS are not the law. It would be similar to your power company claiming copyright over the code written using "their" electricity. Not going to happen. I wouldn't be too concerned.

No, but you could be banned from using OpenAI products in the future, which seems like quite a liability for a researcher or company.

That would be anticompetitive practice that is actually against the law in many countries[1]. In the unlikely event of OpenAI ever engaging in such things they will be sued into oblivion.

Especially when OpenAI explicitly doesn't have a claim to copyright on the model output.
