@david_chisnall I think it's mostly trying to drive a stake through the heart of copyleft or at minimum enable mass copyright laundering so as to evade the source (re)distribution requirements of their licences. It's something of a question how a code clawback is supposed to happen in the event of ever getting broad recognition of derivation via LLM, which is itself not poised for near-term positive outcomes.

@ossguy @cwebber @LordCaramac @bkuhn @richardfontana This sounds to me like the proprietary software companies are using code LLMs to mass copyright launder copyleft, GPL etc. code so as to basically incorporate it all without honouring its code (re)distribution terms. This is a grimmer situation than I had anticipated, and I'm not widely known as an optimist.
