huxley(fur) / Laelia 🔜 Furcationland DeadDogLast boost: the copyright questions around LLM code are unanswered and worrying. What does it mean for an open source project to have non copyrightable code? This is a question for the lawyers. If projects are forced to revert all LLM commits to be compliant with the GPL or something.... The disruption would be massive.
Piper@huxley Non-copyrightable is functionally equivalent to public domain. That’s GPL-compatible, you just can’t enforce GPL restrictions on the AI-generated parts (but you can enforce it on the combination of AI and non-AI parts).
