What if the agents were trained by leaked Microsoft code?

With the way the courts seem to judge LLM outputs, I don't think that's an issue as long as it's provable that the code was shat out by an LLM.

Of course Microsoft could still claim that someone used a leaked Windows build as the source so any LLM use would be a ticking time bomb.

Is this defense even viable if the Windows XP source code has been leaked and openly shared online, and you can find many copies of it on GitHub?

		There's definitely irony in that Microsoft's GitHub is hosting the leaked source code (which probably got sucked into Copilot and every other AI under the sun as a result). However, I don't think copyright lawyers will care. "They're also committing a crime" doesn't mean you're free to do what you want. That applies especially in ReactOS vs MS, because if ReactOS succeeds, it will compete directly with Microsoft.
