Haha, excellent downvote, thanks. I stand corrected, one other person mentioned the word "copyright" in the time between me searching the discussion for that term, and then writing and posting.

There is some copyright discussion on one of the other submissions on this topic.

Yes not in this thread but in the other submissions lots of people said the author was "stealing" the code but turns out the MIT original wasn't even eligible to be under that license as it has no copyright.

"You can't license AI generated code" is not a tested legal argument, and one that would likely cause the software engineering industry to implode if it were.
