I completely agree, but it seems that our industry has decided to turn a blind eye to it. They might even get away with it -- the recent rulings around fair use with regard to Facebook and Anthropic's unrepentant copyright violations[1] was particularly galling to me.

Almost all of the projects I work on require you to sign the Developer Certificate of Origin[2] (which attempts to protect projects from people submitting code that they know cannot be licensed under the project's license), and in my view LLM code you submit does not fulfill the requirements of the DCO. Unfortunately, it seems nobody actually cares about this either.
