> All contributions must comply with the kernel's licensing requirements:

I just don't think that's realistically achievable. Unless the models themselves can introspect on the code and detect any potential license violations.

If you get hit with a copyright violation in this scheme I'd be afraid that they're going to hammer you for negligence of this obvious issue.

US legal consensus has set the precedent that "AI" output can't be copyrighted. Thus, technically no one can really own or re-license prompt output.

Re-licensing public domain uncopyrightable work as GPL/LGPL is almost certainly a copyright violation, and no different than people violating GPL/LGPL in commercial works.

Linus is 100% wrong on this choice, and has introduced a serious liability into the foundation upstream code. =3
