This is legal for a person to do, right? Why should it not be legal for an LLM to do?
AFAIK but IANAL, I can go look at a solution in a GPLed library and then code that solution in my proprietary code base. As in, "oh, I see, the used a hash map for that and a list of this, and locked at this point. I'll code up something similar". As along as you don't "copy the code" you're fine.
Am I wrong?
Is it just a matter of scale? (hey there LLM, re-write all of OpenOffice into ClosedOffice).

Because humans are human. We are rewarded extra super duper rights that inanimate things, such as a computer program, are not rewarded.
I think we should therefore work to demonstrate this is not the case, which is very hard to do. No idea why we would work under the absolutely insane, never-before-seen assumption that computer programs deserve human rights. I don't know where this line of reasoning started, or why, but at it's core it's so unbelievably preposterous (and against the very wellbeing of mankind).
