If you used a llm to generate code, how are you licensing this under AGPL? LLM output is not copy-protected.
Thats only partially accurate btw. I see this comment often lately so I think its worth clarifying.
If its wholly generated, then it is not copy protected, and its in the public domain. If it has human guidance (beyond entering prompts, and actually editing the code), it is. Note that this is also in the US only, and obviously subject to change. I'm not personally sure of the consideration of copyright elsewhere.
That's a valid legal question.
The AGPLv3 license applies to the repository as a whole (the software architecture, the visual logic blocks, the UI/UX, and the compiled system). The license is there to establish a rule: if someone takes this infrastructure, modifies it, and hosts it commercially for others, they are legally obligated to keep their modifications open-source.
That being said, I don't harbor any illusions. I am well aware that in the real world, bad actors might just fork it, strip the license, and run a closed commercial service anyway. But having the AGPL in place is a statement of the project's ethos and gives at least some baseline legal leverage if a larger corporation tries to blatantly rip it off.
