    Commenter is right. It remains to be seen whether or not it’s actually possible to license code generated this way as anything other than like MIT.

    A person didn’t really make it, and so a person doesn’t really own it.

      The hiccup is that the statement is that pure AI output is not subject to copyright, but once a human does something ‘transformative’ to it, then that is. So if a human can work back to the untouched AI output, they can go to town but they can’t reproduce any modification that was done after the AI generation. Since in practice, the GenAI row output is not provided it’s impossible for the human to know what the human touches were to undo, so that scenario does not present a whole lot of realistic implications.
