The U.S government is going to disregard this case and ignore it.
Hopefully, people will start realizing how dumb copyright is. It is difficult to enforce copyright on the internet.
I have heard the suggestion to use a similar AI, trained on the leaked Windows source code, and then use that for developing WINE or ReactOS.
I mean as someone who’s part of the music industry (or at the very least makes music semi-professionally and releases it myself using DistroKid), I’ve had to get involved with learning about IP rights and honestly I think they’re kind of ridiculous. Like how Mickey Mouse is only now just about to go into public domain (until Disney has their say and lobbies for the laws to get changed again). It’s all ridiculous. While I do think that there needs to be some kind of protection for people claiming to have created something that they did not, I think the current state of copyright is just there to cover the asses of corporations and doesn’t really pay attention to the individual (like most laws in the U.S. unfortunately)

Then just credit the person?
I’m not sure why people still think that author’s works need to be protected; because sharing was quite enjoyed by ancient authors.
Humans don’t own anything; we trick ourselves into believing we can own things. We collectively share ideas.
Agreed, people should credit artists whose ideas they use. Sometimes that doesn’t happen and the protection I was talking about was for instances in which people don’t credit the artist.
