They argue that using a large language model likely violates GZDoom's GPLv3 license, since AI-generated code cannot be copyrighted.

Combining Doom's GPLv3 code with Ken Silverman's BUILD code for Raze also violates the GPL, somehow all these years nobody cared.

Containing Build code already means that Raze can't be used for commercial projects. Adding AI generated code to GZDoom means that it potentially can't be from that point forward, which could impact projects like Hedon.

The problem isn't that AI code cannot be copyrighted (public domain is compatible with the GPL). The problem is that AI code may be classified as violating copyright for the original code the LLM was trained on.
