@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place I wrote a post about this, but it is US-centric unfortunately: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2026/04/08/ai-code-is-hollowing-out-open-source-and-maintainers-are-looking-the-other-way.html
I'll have to learn a bit more about how the Europeans think about this, especially if there is some special interaction with licenses that rely on US law.

@allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place The EU seems similar to the US in the ways that matter: Human Authorship is Central: EU copyright law only protects works that are the result of a human’s intellectual creation. Fully autonomous AI-generated outputs—without meaningful human input—are excluded from protection. Public Domain by Default: Outputs with no human authorship fall into the public domain. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2025/774095/IUST_STU(2025)774095_EN.pdf Starting on page 92.
