Citation needed, I've never heard that before and I'm seeing plenty of evidence of people behaving otherwise.
I thought llm code was all public domain? Which I guess that means it can't be under an open source license.
a project not lines of code. you cant license a fully 100% vibe coded app but adding a function to a project doesnt invalidate a whole project
And even if it was 100% vibe coded, how could one tell? The code has never been published before so there's no way to determine its origin.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is based off of public domain sources but it is nevertheless under copyright itself. So even if the output of LLMs was public domain (not something that has been clearly or universally established) that doesn't mean a project incorporating it would have to be. Public domain is not "viral."
