That's not really how copyright law works.

Would you also say that to this lawyer reviewing Co-Pilot in 2026? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 Disclaimer: this isn't legal advice.

It is though. If you commit copyrighted code that was output by an LLM, you _do_ have to follow the license of that code. If you don’t, that’s copyright infringement. Even if the code _isn’t_ copyrighted code, then it’s public domain code that _can’t be copyrighted_: https://sciactive.com/human-contribution-policy/#More-Information
