    Good. The US made the same decision a little while ago. I’m waiting to see how the courts decide on AI generated code. That’ll be funny when all these companies realize they don’t own their code base anymore.

      The law is kinda weak. You really only need to slightly modify it for it to be copyrightable. No one really pushes full ChatGPT outputs as production code, and so it’s safe to assume code can almost always be copyrighted, as long as you did something yourself

        You should look up the Zaria of the Dawn case. You need to make more than inconsequential edits for it to be copyrightable, and even then, only your edits are copyrightable.
