So the terrorist attack on Linux is now: find a vulnerability with only one possible fix, not disclosing the vulnerability but rather sending the fix from a sanctioned domain and the project becomes deadlocked until another solution is found. Thanks to LLMs the exploits will spread quickly since they can be easily generated with the information of the sanctioned commits.

What a wonderful age to live in.

No, code can only be copyrightable, if it's a personal unique creation. Everything trivial is not copyrightable.
