    And if they’re not going to respect the copyleft, they are also performing unauthorised copying.

      “Copyleft” means certain types of copyright licenses. Since these licenses generally allow and encourage public distribution/copying, such code is certainly not leaked. Laws pertaining to trade secrets cannot be involved in principle.

      I think the copies made during AI training would be typically allowed under copyleft licenses. In any case, as it is a copyright license, it is subject to the same limitations.

        Public distribution and copying is allowed, but only if the license in it’s entirety is respected.

        And when the license is void, it’s all rights reserved, right?
