Projects seem to want to deal with the copyright of contributions.

Can AI-produced code be copyrighted?  By whom?  The US courts have 
suggested, in other cases, products not created by humans cannot be 
copyrighted.  Of course "creation" isn't clear.  A photo by a photographer 
is normally copyrightable but one taken by a monkey is not.  A photo of a 
painting, where fidelity is the aim, is probably not copyrightable.  These 
are from my unreliable memory.

There is some controversy about whether LLMs violate copyrights.  The New 
York Times is suing about this.
