Doesn’t it invalidate the GPL? Open source licenses depend on copyright, and LLM-generated code isn’t copyrightable.
(Also, it can’t be proven not to contain plagiarised proprietary code, in fact it’s quite likely that it does; between this, the testing / review burden, and the mental decay of developers that use LLMs instead of coding, this pretty much kills open source projects, in several different ways to make sure they stay dead…)
It’s not that they’re not copyrightable. That court case is misunderstood. The vibe coder tried to give the AI the copyright and the judge ruled that was stupid because AI can’t own shit.
Also copyright doesn’t mean much anymore because companies are rewriting open source software as copyrightable vibe coded bullshit the same way people are “open sourcing” Adobe using vibe coded crap.
It’s garbage “progress” all the way down.
