Well the best approach would probably be to say "no for now". But following recent court rulings (I think it was in the US), the answer could change to a "yes" as it appears that they see that any code generated with AI is basically public domain as copyright is for human generated work only.

@ariadne @agowa338 AI can't copyright-wash the code it spits out. The chatbot will closely crib an existing example from its training if the thing you ask it for isn't generic. That's the copyright threat model here.
