- baryphonic 2y agoEach compiled executable has a one-to-one relation with its source code, which has an author (except for LLM code and/or infinite monkeys). Thus compiled executables are derivative works. There is an argument also that LLMs are derivative works of the training data, which I'm somewhat sympathetic to, though clearly there's a difference and lots of ambiguity about which contributions to which weights correspond to any particular source work. Again IANAL, and this is my opinion based on reading the law & precedents. Consult a real copyright attorney for real advice.
