all you have to do is run it through an "AI" and then what comes out is definitely not a derivative work and you can legally use it however you like. Microsoft is very confident in this; just see Copilot.

And it would even be open-source copyleft [0] because the "AI" can't claim it's copyright either! Check mate patent trolls

yeah, if they somehow manage to remove the original data, would copyleft be able to "remember" the idea of the code so that if we try to recreate it, would we be able to without modifying the copilot to prevent this?
