  • 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.

They sure don't! Or at least if they did the entire industry would collapse overnight.

@jonny @srvanderplas
well, IANAL, but:
1) I have published GPLed code, and AFAI Understand, if the produced code is *linked* to the GPLed code/requires the GPLed code to run, to redistribute the new code it MUST be GPLed.
2) last I checked, the US court system was of the opinion that work produced by AI was NOT COPYRIGHTABLE. AFAIK, that should include any produced code. Other jurisdictions may have differing laws.

@traecer @jonny @srvanderplas I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but for AI output and copyright you might find this interesting: (watch and draw your own conclusions) https://hachyderm.io/@ell1e/116313321022811490

@traecer @jonny @srvanderplas There's also this: https://www.twobirds.com/en/insights/2025/landmark-ruling-of-the-munich-regional-court-(gema-v-openai)-on-copyright-and-ai-training It seems to be talking about fair use as it relates to AI training (I could be wrong though, read it for yourself).
