alt Hacker NewsIt is knowledge, it can't be stolen. It is stolen only in the sense of someone gatekeeping knowledge. Which is as a practice, the least we can say, dubious. because is math stolen ? if you stole math to build your knowledge on top of it, you own nothing and can claim to have been stolen yourself

Are you against copyright, patents, and IP in all forms then?

If you are so adamant about this, why don't you release all your own code in the public domain? Aren't you gatekeeping knowledge too?

I disagree.
Code is the expression of knowledge and can be protected by copyright.
A lot of the popular licenses on GitHub (like MIT) permits you to use a piece of code on the condition that you credit the original author. If an LLM outputs code from such a project (or remixes code from several such projects) then it needs to credit the original authors or be in violation.
If Disney's intellectual property can be stolen and needs to be protected for 95+ years by copyright then surely the bedroom programmers' labor deserves the same protections.
