GPL code

What could possibly go wrong with an AI garbing large chunks of GPL licensed code and suggesting that "YOU" add them to your code base which is incompatible with the GPL license ( https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html ).

I guess they need to retrain the AI but next time using only using BSD licensed source code, if they want commercial companies to use it.

And a separate GPL only AI, that is only trained using GPL code, BSD people get very upset when their freedom license is removed and downgraded to a restrictive GPL license.
