> I believe the author owns the language.
replyNot according to the US Copyright Office. It is 100% LLM output, so it is not copyrighted, thus it's free for anyone to do anything with it and no claimed ownership or license can stop them.
Do you have a citation for that?
replyYes[1]. Copyright applies to human creations, not machine generated output.
replyIt's possible to use AI output in human created content, and it can be copyrightable, and substantiative, transformative human-creative alteration of AI output is also copyrightable.
100% machine generated code is not copyrightable.

replyGoing into the vault!
