    never intended for it to be used as training data.

    You could have chosen a different license than the GPL.

    Doesn’t the GPL cover shit like this?

    No. Didn’t you read the license you used?

      GPL absolutely should cover shit like this. Training an LLM on your code makes it definitionally a derivative work, therefore it must be licensed under GPL too (with limited fair use exceptions which shouldn’t apply here). The problem is that the US government is not willing to enforce this at all, because it is owned by the same billionaires as the AI companies.

        If so, then every painter who studied Picasso is making Picasso-derived works. That’s not how copyright works.
