The quoted laws do not say that generated code is automatically public domain, that is an interpretation of the law by some organization (here ScieActive). The laws just say, that a person using a prompt cannot take ownership and copyright of the generated code. It does not state it becomes public domain for everyone. Besides that, this is only in the US, not universal. And its not even tested in court yet. Its like saying in Brazil (or the EU in example) exist a law that does not allow Ai, therefore its the law for everyone. This is not universal.

    The quotes are not laws, and those quotes are from the Copyright Office’s official statement on AI generated material. Please, just click the link at the bottom of my earlier comment. Here, I’ll even link it again:

    https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ai_policy_guidance.pdf

    If something cannot be copyrighted, it is in the public domain.

    It doesn’t really matter if it’s not international law. If I don’t want to follow your open source license requirements, and your project is public domain in the US, I’ll just copy it in the US, and you can’t sue me.

    Ok, I’ve editing my earlier comment to explain what I’m linking there, since it seems that neither you nor anyone else bothered to click that link.
