Dear Michał

I understand you intend to mislead others about code authorship. This
might put the project at risk. As if merging LLM-generated garbage were
not risky enough...

A LLM merely transforms code originally written (and therefore
copyrighted) by others. To use the output, one needs permission from
the original author(s). Which is indeed how output of non-AI code
generators & compilers is normally treated.

We all do that. Programming patterns are not protected by copyright.
Code is. Copy-pasting has always been risky.

The current (rather clear) status means that such code simply cannot be
included in OpenSC or indeed in any free software.
