Yeah we were told not to use it by the lawyers at work and have an official policy against using it. Not having that would open us up for liability if we’re sued as there’s no defence that what we did was clean room if we admitted using it.

No matter what is said, there are no license guarantees on the generated code, as you don’t know the exact provenance, so it seems only sensible to be on the safe side.
