The Windows FOSS part, sure, but unenforceable copyright seems quite possible, but probably not court-tested. I mean, AI basically ignored copyright to train in the first place, and there is precedent for animals not getting copyright for taking pictures.

If it's not court tested, I'm guessing we can assume a legal theory that breaks all software licensing will not hold up.

Like, maybe the code snippets that are AI-made themselves can be stolen, but not different parts of the project.

That seems a more likely outcome.
