Depends on who wants to take what away.
If I release blub 1.0.0 under GPL, you cannot fork it and add features and release that closed-source, but I can certainly do that as I have ownership. I can't stop others continuing to use 1.0.0 and develop it further under the GPL, but what happens to my own 1.1.0 onwards is up to me. I can even sell the rights to use it closed-source.
You can do whatever you want. And someone else can - and will, if it's worth it - now do a deep analysis and have it reimplemented with said analysis, all via LLM. And particularly, since the law is now that AI creations can't be copyrighted, that reimplementation will be firmly in public domain. Nobody will have to even look at 1.1.0. See Valkey as one of the more recent examples, and there isn't even any LLM involved there.
