No, as I said, the following two are equivalent: - I copy some GPL=E2=80=99d code (or code with a license that requires = an attribution) and contribute it in such a way that violates the = license. - I use an LLM to copy some GPL=E2=80=99d code (or code with a license = that requires an attribution) and contribute it in such a way that = violates the license. The difference is that, in the first case, I *know* that I am doing so. = In the second case, I have deliberately used a plagiarism machine but = don=E2=80=99t know whether this specific output is copyright violation = or not. If a committer deliberately violates copyright, the code will be removed = and the committer will, most likely, lose commit access. Committers are = responsible for the code that they commit, but if they are using a = plagiarism machine then the chances of them committing accidental = copyright infringement are much higher and that=E2=80=99s a risk to the = project.
