    I’m curious how this is going to play out legally for copyright. If you accept AI code, you can’t copyright it, so aren’t you essentially forfeiting the copyleft license?

      They aren’t allowing fully ai generated code. Copyright office says ai used in the process does not forefit the copyright, but ai generating the content entirely (or almost entirely) does. By having the user be responsible for the code, it burdens the user to make sure this stuff isn’t abused to do that.

        Where’s that line drawn? Just the fact that it’s an open legal question makes accepting these contributions risky.
