As a side note, has the legal portion of this been thought through? At least here in the US, it appears to be far from settled case law that you won't, for example, be infringing copyright if an LLM generates code very similar to existing code that's under a different license, even if the person using the LLM has no knowledge of the similarity. It also appears to be the case (at least in the US) that an author can't say "I own the code, intellectually and legally" if they've generated code with an LLM and left it unmodified: Thaler v. Perlmutter (a lower-court case) held that all copyrightable works must "be authored by a human being." So, bits of GHC may now be public domain rather than under GHC's licence.
