From the same Mastodon thread:
The model is known to reproduce some code, including GPL-licensed code, verbatim; therefore, it must contain verbatim copies of that code, however it is encoded.
[…]
the snippet in question is clearly, deeply original. it is a cursed coding crime that contains several “magic constants” with high entropy.
So it should be required to be open source now, right?
Time to delete all github repos. I did this with my sources and I don’t want to go back.
Thing is, they could just crawl all public code. It wouldn’t even need to be on their site, just takes more work.
I guess I will need to get crazy with UFW then
That’s true of course, but I’m not quite sure whether this would be legal (IANAL, ofc).
I hope there will be soon licenses that forbid these kind of abusive actions.
Some copy-left licenses might already cover closed-source redistribution like this. But I’m guessing we’d need a court to decide that for sure.
