Sounds reasonable to me - much the same way that building a project from multiple incompatible licenses wouldn't be allowed. The alternative is that using an LLM could just be an end-run around the choice of license that a developer used.

Copyright normally only applies when you’re plagiarizing. LLM output typically isn’t that. It’s more like someone having studied multiple open source projects with incompatible licenses and coding up their own version of them, which is perfectly fine. So your “workaround” is overshooting things by far, IMO.
