I as a person understand that the GPL, AGPL and it's ilk are (at least in my moral view) a certain level of sacrosanct. I might read GPL code once in a while.

I might read GPL code once in a while. But I would never copy-paste it when someone asks for, say, how to do a fast inverse square root. (I don't really read AGPL code b/c most AGPL companies I've encountered strike me as salivating for a reason to force a license on a business entity.) The closest I did was looking at GPL code once upon a time for some geo-transform code, and frankly didn't use any of it and instead used a USGS book to re-implement everything in a fully legal-safe way.
- sigmoid10 3y agoHow much copy pasted code on stackoverflow has a license attribution? And on top of that, even more restrictive licenses wouldn't change the problem - neither with humans nor with AI.
