Copyright in the context of LLM's is kind of weird. It doesn't explicitly copy others code but it does lean heavily on the structure of it. Is it evidence of copying prior work or is it fair use? Alas, we don't really have any legal bearing that can handle this yet.

If it is copying prior work, then you are right that there would be a lot of cross licensing bleed through. The opposite is also true in that it could take proprietary code structure and liberate it into GPL 3 for instance. Again what is the legal standing on this?

Years back there was a source code leak of Microsoft Office. Immediately the Libre office team put up restrictions to ensure that contributors didn't even look at it for fear that it would end up into their project and become a leverage point against the whole project. Now with LLM's it can be difficult to know where anything comes from.

We don’t know if it is weird yet, right? It is just a big question mark.

I guess as some point there will be a massive lawsuit. But, so much of the economy is wrapped up in this stuff nowadays, the folks paying for Justice System Premium Edition probably prefer not to have anything solid yet.
