the code is a reference to oracle v google

  Incidentally this code doesn't have any license attached to it. So if an LLM happened to produce this code and Oracle said "where did you get that?! did you illicitly include the Java code base as part of your training data?" the organization that got the data for the LLM training can say "no, we used Hacker News comments and this code happened to have been in there verbatim... sorry." License successfully laundered!

    that would work if no license didn't mean all rights reserved by default

      The question isn't what is the license but rather the location that the code was used as part of a data set. I could just as easily point to https://stackoverflow.com/a/13910492 https://stackoverflow.com/a/13910492 which is on a page that is CC licensed.
