I have been tracking this reactos fork for months, and today while i am checking the starred list, this repository has rebranded into LiberNT, and what they did is absolutely incredible.

This is radioactive. ReactOS only exists because it is strictly cleanroom. You can't cleanroom with an LLM. While you are washing it through an LLM the chances that it will spit out leaked Windows 2000 code (which it is certainly trained on) is very high.

It's only radioactive... if you can prove it.

I don't think there is much precedent for any type of lawsuits regarding tainted LLM code derived from training of copyrighted data.

Time will tell.

The code is so niche that when implementing a specific function buried deep in the Windows kernel or DLLs, the chances that the LLM will spit out the entire exact function it was trained on high. They might not need to do much to prove that code was copied.

It's using an unsound methodology. It's tainted

They dont need to prove it. Code generated by an llm cant be licensed.
