That’s a good question, because this can be a can of worms.
About 15 years ago, I programmed a few VST plugins, and for one of them, I came up with an extremely efficient extension of the Fast Fourier Transform.
When I posted this on a forum for plugin developers, someone pointed out that I had (without knowing it) come up with the same idea as someone else ten years earlier, who had published it as a master’s thesis.
The problem: A few years later, a company had "acquired" the rights to this algorithm, so I couldn’t release my plugin without risking a lawsuit.

Who knows what’s hidden in the code generated by AI...
