The paper shows that the models*can* reproduce copyrighted work
almost verbatim. Claiming that it's just a load of weights and you
can't retrieve anything significant from the training data isn't true
if you can tell it to reproduce something. And if you don't prompt it
to do that on purpose, you don't know that it isn't still doing it
anyway.
While this is a concern in general (and I have my own reservations
about LLM-generated code) this should not be a concern for patches for
gcc.
A patch for gcc has to apply and work. For anything not completely
trivial this means that it has to tie in with gcc's data structures
and algorithms. A non-trivial patch that is an exact copy of somebody
else's work has to come from a gcc branch. So it is already covered
by the GPL v3 (or v2, for very old versions).
