New comment by breve in "Codex for open source"

What are AI companies doing to respect open source licenses and copyright?

I'm sure they train their models on open source software, so how do I know that LLM generated code doesn't reproduce substantial chunks of, for example, GPL licensed code? If indeed there are GPL violations, what are AI companies doing to police themselves?

I wonder if open source licenses will start to include "not to be used for LLM training" clauses.

> For instance the Mozilla DOM experiments seems to use a special JS variant with a 'use component' header

As per the article, that's temporary until Component Model 1.0 is implemented natively in the browser. In the meantime, jco can be used:

> The groundwork for browser implementations is being laid today: jco’s transpile command already converts any component into equivalent core Wasm and JavaScript glue, making components runnable in any browser without native support.

That's no longer needed once native support is there.
