You cannot claim authorship of something that you were not even allowed to take in the first place. How would you then allow rights to somebody else?

Seems pretty obvious to me.

In general I agree with you, especially about how things should work, and find the current trend of claiming LLM-washing code hugely problematic.

I do wonder what the analysis would be of these prompts were vibe-coded, though, since in general LLM output can’t be copyrighted without significant human authorship, and Anthropic is pretty noisy about minimal human supervision.

Oh you’re assuming the content in this repo is taken from somewhere? There are other sibling threads about this; you might be mis-interpreting the title.
