Reading through to the end of the README.md on the GitHub page, I noticed that he's claiming copyright on the code, even though he admits that 3/4 of it is machine generated, and he doesn't understand it all.

It reminded me of the legal challenges for copyright of content that was not created by a human. In every case that I'm aware of so far, courts have ruled that content that wasn't created by a person cannot be copyrighted.



Still a good business move, in case things change.
