@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I would very much like someone with a legal mind explain how software licenses interact with yesterday's ruling that AI gen work is not copyrightable. What exactly is the basis of the copyright here? I hope we get to see someone dive into this.
@etoaniErstwhile Engineer @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber It was a decline to rule. The case they declined to rule on stood, and it focused narrowly on someone trying to get his pet AI recognized as sentient to qualify for authorship under copyright law.
Where the line is on how much authorship flips "authored parts are copyrightable" to "the whole thing is copyrighted" is still contested and evolving in courts.
