If LLM output isn't copyrightable then it's already public domain, even if you say it isn't - if this is true you can just ignore the wishes of the person who thinks they're the copyright holder.

this. The whole licensing of software stands on copyright. If the content is already in the public domain because it was generated by an LLM (copyright only protects human works) then it can't be licensed.
However, there's no compunction to publish the generated code, even if it's public domain.
We end up in a strange nega-OSS world where all code can be used by anyone for any reason, if you can get your hands on it.
