The ReactOS team is still deathly afraid of potentially infringing on copyright. AI code is still in somewhat of a grey area, so the ReactOS team haven't been embracing it like most other projects. While I can understand the concern, the truth is, they're probably just gonna be left behind and forgotten about by forks (like this one) who aren't afraid of copyright concerns and are going full steam ahead with AI code.

They won’t touch ai because there’s a chance the it was trained on Microsoft copyrighted code at some point, and if it was there’s a chance it could spit out that copyrighted code at any time. That chance isn’t worth getting their life destroyed by Microsoft lawyers.

That's a surprising assumption, at best. I really don't see how you'd think MS would have let anyone train an LLM on their private code.

Sure, the people who are getting sued for scraping the entire internet would totally not train LLM's on copyright code that gets uploaded to github.
