That's a wild claim you're making. So far, it looks like the code is completely new, and for this case, it doesn't really matter where it comes from. New code - new license.

    okay, you have to be able to prove the LLM didn't learn off of the original source material. Because if it is, its dertivitve work, making it subject to LGPL.

    Well, I do not have to, the burden of proof lies on the person making the claim.

    That's valid in a debate, but not quite how courts work?

    I'm not a lawyer, just someone petty enough to read laws.

    The discovery requests in the law suit will require yo turn over all training data. From there, it will be up to the AI makers to prove that it wasn't used, if it was fed into training data. Which if it was open source, almost certainly was.

    That as side.

    Your making an equal claim that it wasn't. With an equal amount of proof. So what your sating bears as much weight as the other person.

    I have not made any claims, and I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I don't know how this could be dealt with in court, or whether anyone will even bother with it.
