｢ If “AI-rewriting” is accepted as a valid way to change licenses, it represents the end of Copyleft. Any developer could take a GPL-licensed project, feed it into an LLM with the prompt “Rewrite this in a different style,” and release it under MIT ｣

@jbz (Not a lawyer, not legal advice) Licensing requires ownership. In the US nothing written or made by an LLM is able to be copywritten or patented. Hope this doesn't screw any vibe coders over.
