This does nothing to shield Linux from responsibility for infringing code.

This is essentially like a retail store saying the supplier is responsible for eliminating all traces of THC from their hemp when they know that isn’t a reasonable request to make.

It’s a foreseeable consequence. You don’t get to grant yourself immunity from liability like this.

Quite a lot of companies use and release AI written code, are they all liable?

		Yep, and honestly it's going to come up with things other than lawsuits. I've worked at a company that was asked as part of a merger to scan for code copied from open source. That ended up being a major issue for the merger. People had copied various C headers around in odd places, and indeed stolen an odd bit of telnet code. We had to go clean it up.

		1. Almost definitely if discovered 2. Infringement in closed source code isn’t as likely to be discovered 3. OpenAI and Anthropic enterprise agreements agree to indemnify (pay for damages essentially) companies for copyright issues.
