@scy@chaos.social @Foxboron@chaos.social ... naming and goes back to a time where making copies and distributing them was the hard part.
This is a non-problem in the digital age, which is why it's fine to create backup copies of copyrighted works, so long as the people accessing them are always the people having purchased/licensed an original copy.
So LLMs training on GPL is not itself a copyright violation, and them reproducing similar code isn't either, but then publishing such sufficiently similar code is.

@scy@chaos.social @Foxboron@chaos.social TL;DR what others already wrote: if the result is similar enough to inputs, the copyright holder of the inputs could challenge it, yes.
