    It already is, vibe coders cannot hold copyright on AI-generated code

      Not to be pedantic, not holding copyright ≠ FOSS.

      FOSS explicitly means that the developer has a copyright and is explicitly giving a license for people to use it with FOSS provisions.

      It would be more accurate to say AI Vibe code is in the public domain.

      That’s not entirely true, it doesn’t make it FOSS.

      1. Vibe coders sign a contract when they use AI to generate stuff, which gives rights away to the company. Regardless of copyright protections from the state, a contract is in most cases legally binding.

      2. Copyright law requires human authorship as opposed to random generation. This doesn’t inherently exclude all generative works, algorithms that were carefully crafted and datasets curated can potentially have their results considered “authored” but the AI Company owners that made them.

      In order to make it true we need to pass laws that regulate the AI companies and their slop. In the meantime, I recommend nobody uses slop code. Actually, I’d recommend that regardless of ownership rights.

        I signed no contracts to download the open source local models I use for code generation, just for what it’s worth

          Ah yes, that model. Of course. You’re right. I would know because I have read the details for every model in existence and can clearly infer which one you’re talking about. Yes.
