* Using LLM output verbatim could violate the original code's license

* License conflicts can occur if your package's license (e.g., MIT) is incompatible with code patterns that the LLM learned on such as code licensed as GPL or Apache-2.0.

When licenses clash, it gets messy. Say your package uses an MIT license (common in scientific Python), but an LLM outputs Apache-2.0 or GPL code—those licenses aren't compatible. You can't just add attribution to fix it. Technically, you'd have to delete everything and rewrite it from scratch to comply with the licensing requirements.
