lime!

i have friends who have both dyslexia and dyscalculia and who have managed to learn programming. it’s a matter of finding something that works for you. if you don’t gel with c-style, try something functional, or concatenative. people have made programming languages that map directly to how they and nobody else thinks. if all else fails, try mit scratch.

define “simply incapable”. you can use a sequencer, a synthesiser, a modelling program, an animation suite, write design docs for entire interconnected worlds, but if you ever accidentally write print("hello") you explode?

the question is if that theory is enough for a general ruling.

can’t be. if there is gpled code in the training data, all code must be gpl since the model is one work. and since it can’t, that’s a breach.

to look at it another way: since anything an llm spits out is public domain, whoever commanded it do so is automatically in breach of the gpl unless they can show evidence that there is no copyleft material in the training data at all.

it’s weird that they just phrase it as “has to release the source code”, it skips over the most important part. they have to release the source to any user who asks for it. if they want to be assholes about it they can request proof of purchase. unless the product is free, but then the question becomes “so what’s the problem again?”.

how did this get past the ethics committee
