Is there any practical difference between owning the copyright on a badly defined ~30% of a codebase and 100% of the codebase? In either case, no sane company is going to buy the code if one of your employees tries to leak it to them, which I assume is your concern.

- sebzim4500 4y agoDepending on what logs exist I could probably find lines of code which definitely aren't AI generated. Of course, in practice I wouldn't bother and would sue using trade secret laws instead where no such issue exists.
