In the USA, code generated by a computer cannot be copyrighted. So you can use it for commercial purposes, but you can't control it the way you could with code that you wrote yourself. And that's legally fine, but your company's legal department might not like that idea.

- lodovic 2y agoThat's not entirely accurate. In the US, computer-generated code can be copyrighted. The key point is that copyright protection extends to the original expression in the code, but not to its functional aspects, such as algorithms, system design, or logic.
