@rpluim@mastodon.social @zyd@yap.zyd.lol My understanding is that although that’s true for something completely machine-generated, it doesn’t take much human input to make it copyrightable again. So although a completely vibecoded work probably wouldn’t be copyrightable, an LLM-assisted contribution might well be. And besides, there is nothing against integrating public-domain code into free software as far as I know. It wouldn’t receive copyright protection but would be available to use by anybody. I don’t think this means LLM contributions should be allowed, but I don’t think the copyright argument alone is strong enough to prevent it.
