The GPL gives you the right to access and modify the source code of software you use. A lack of copyrights does not mean that the creators have to share the source code with you. In fact, it means that anyone can take GPL software and turn it into closed source software

When did Anthropic make Claude Code a separate subscription? I ask because it is still listed as part of the Pro subscription tier on their website. And because I haven’t seen the shit-storm that would no doubt ensue if they did that

Bond is not such a bad example, because he introduces himself as “Bond. James Bond”, not as “Bond. Bond James”. If he did introduce himself as such, then you’d be forgiven for thinking that his given name was “Bond”.
The problem is also not the short form of author names, which as you point out places the family name first, and which typically abbreviate the given names. The problem is that many sites will reverse that order when they render the full names. The solution is simply to allow the authors to specify how their full name should be rendered. This not a problem that is unique to scientific journals.
