The problem is that the AI companies claim they are just “reading” the code to let their AI models learn from it, thus licenses / copyright doesn’t apply in their interpretation of the situation.
The interesting thing is that from my testing with very niche code, it downright copied the only online example (my repo.) It even reused my variable names.
Yeah, but you (or someone in a similar situation) will have to take them to court for the legal situation to be clarified. Just putting another license on the code will not stop them.
