It's under the very specific license though. With your logic it's OK to train AI on a leaked Windows code then. It is/was publicly on the web.

Yes? Its production code that is supposed to work (keyword supposed). I'd like the code-suggestor to also be trained on AAA games source leaks.

code licenses will be irrelevant in a few years if you are able to refactor anything you want using ai.

Unless lawyers from the music industry step in.

Can I introduce you to a concept called copyright?

Is it fine if an author publishes a short story publicly on the web for someone else to submit it to a contest as their own work?

Please don’t use plagiarism as an argument for keeping copyright. They are not related. Plagiarism is already illegal or disallowed for obvious reasons, but copyright is a different matter.

I brought up plagiarism because it's what happened in this case. Maybe I shouldn't've mentioned copyright at all.
