We’re going to be in a very weird place:

* LLMs make it trivial to recreate almost any software using its test suite (maybe not a derivative work)

* LLM generated code has no copyright (according to current court interpretations)

Soon we will be able to make an unlicensed copy of anything if we have its test suite and a little money for tokens.

It's only weird because copyright is an unnatural abstraction that requires increasing amounts of legal upkeep to maintain.

And by the standard of promoting the progress of science and the useful arts, it is rapidly becoming obsolete.

* LLM generated code from a test suite is crap
