    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.

      Public domain code is a subset of FOSS code, so I don’t think that was inaccurate

        In general terms, it isn’t really. Or at least it is a controversial topic still subject to discussion.

        https://opensource.org/blog/public-domain-is-not-open-source

        As to this specific topic, the fact that all of the code has to be open source is part of the 10 criteria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition

        As such, you can’t consider open source the public domain portions of a codebase that also has proprietary portions.
