that's assuming that the problems and incentives are the same for everyone. Someone whose uncle happens to own a bridge repair company would absolutely be incentivized to say

Sorry, what's that got to do with anything? Who's the uncle supposed to be here in your analogy? The copyright owner? And so your hypothesis is that somebody's pushing AI in order to sneak copyrighted code into linux in order to sue them later? Seems very far fetched, and besides, why would I care about their incentives? Why would the linux foundation be interested in allowing that to happen?
