Yes, there is the theoretical threat that an AI learned code that's under a

services based on their code (or even proprietary code; for all we know, Co-
Pilot was trained with the entire source code written by Microsoft), but
that's only a problem if the AI cites this code literally so that we could
be sued for plagiarizing. How realistic is this threat?
To turn this discussion into something positive: Maybe we should train our own
coding assistant AI(s) for Kate/KDevelop with code relevant for C++ and QML
which respects the licenses. We'd have an AI model for writing LGPL code that
was trained with KF and Qt source code (and other KDE code that's LGPL-
compatible) and we'd have a second AI model for writing GPL code that was
trained additionally with all of our GPL code.
Kate would automatically use the correct model based on the SPDX license of
the current file.

A nice thought, but we would need to invest quite a bit of money into
this to get it to work correctly, from my understanding.
