  • Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
  • people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
  • now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source

What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???

@jonny do LLMs trained on gpl code have to be gpl? I don't know whether code-as-data is equivalent to code as executable, but I had honestly never considered that issue before.

@srvanderplas @jonny Yes, they do, and they have to follow the terms of the GPL strictly. Which means documenting the date and nature of each change from the code they derived it from, and who made those changes. Something which they're not going to be able to do. In which case, any use of the LLM at all is infringing.

This true if you exist in the realm of "the law" like us mere mortals. however when you are in the domain of "the entire machinery of capital seeking total, final enclosure of reality" then a different set of rules seem to apply
