I think you don't understand how open source works. If you release open source software under for example the GPL you still need to comply it.
You still have to give the source back and attribution has still to be maintained of its original authors, regardless if is a fork, a derivation or whatever you want to call it.
There are situations where none of these clauses have been complied nor its violators faced any legal consequences. That's what I'm talking about.
Now on top of that you can basically instruct and LLM to generate variations of what someone released and cover that up under the excuse that is a different project when is actually not.
Because it has been generated by a computer then we go into muddy waters about if the code generated is to be considered stolen or not.
Edit: Effectively what LLMs produce is authorship and attribution dilution.
