Re 3: I'm old enough to remember the SCO lawsuits against Linux. If I were running a significant free software operation, I would worry about legal liability for AI-generated code (a few years or a couple decades down the road, after copyright holders win a major case or two against the AI companies).

So I wonder if someday the GNU faction will release an LLM trained entirely on publicly available data. I'm a bit curious about that.

There's still the licensing problem. If it generates code, is the code GPL licensed?

		Your logic is far better than mine. I have nothing to say. senior. sir. But I do wonder: is human-written code ever truly original? They say imitation is the mother of creation. If LLM-generated(GEN AI) code can be sufficiently transformed, couldn't that also be considered a kind of creation? I think I need to refine my own logic a bit more. The question you raised, 'Who owns the license to LLM-generated code?' is something I hadn't thought about. Thanks for the solid counterargument, and have a good day
