The problem is every single court in the entire world needs to come to the 
same conclusion for AI generated code to be valid in KDE.

The fact is the currently a lot of the code has been obtained illegally for 
the training, literally downloading books from wares sites, etc. This already 
puts it in a very difficult position legally, so I really doubt every single 
court in the world is going to find that just fine.

And if that gets resolved, the other side, is still that the generated results 
are not copyrightable.
