The State of GPL Propagation to AI Models

https://shujisado.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/chatgpt-image-2025e5b9b411e69c8827e697a5-21_13_41.png?w=1024
The theory of GPL propagation to AI models, where GPL code in training data propagates to the model, remains an indeterminate problem with ongoing lawsuits and no clear judicial precedent. The theory could be ratified by the judiciary if the plaintiffs win in ongoing lawsuits, but it has serious detrimental effects and many experts argue against it.

'Turncoat' by Dennis Sewell Review
