I expect that corporations will not sue for copyright infringement because that would set precedent that would make themselves susceptible to being sued for the same infringement. Bit contemporary copyright law looks like a trash fire to me, so I am in no position to predict anything

    Corporations even before AI have sued each other, precisely on the premise that "your code looks like ours. We think you stole it" and then have a petty fight in court because their lawyers couldn't hash out a settlement.

    Now with so-called AI washing, it's only going to get worse, because LLM generated code doesn't have to be 100% identical to be considered a derivative copy of the original. It all goes back to the central question: did this copy come from this original work?

    The corporate IP lawyers will be making bank off of the ambiguity.
