The "An AI Wrote This" Public Domain Dedication

Copyright Status: None claimed.

This repository and its contents — including source code, test environments, data schemas, mock website templates, vulnerability implementations, agent harnesses, and raw experimental data — are released into the public domain.

The authors make no claim of copyright over this work. The overwhelming majority of the code, data, and prose in this repository was generated by large language models (primarily Claude, with contributions from GPT and Gemini). Human involvement was limited to prompting, reviewing outputs, and stitching things together — a level of contribution that likely falls below the threshold of originality required for copyright protection under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance.

Specifically, the U.S. Copyright Office has stated that:

"If a work's traditional elements of authorship were produced by a machine, the work lacks human authorship and the Office will not register it."

The Thaler v. Perlmutter decision (D.D.C. 2023) further affirmed that AI-generated works without human authorship are not eligible for copyright registration.

We agree with this assessment as applied to this repository.

What This Means For You

You can do whatever you want with this code. Copy it, modify it, sell it, publish it, train a model on it, print it out and wallpaper your bathroom with it. No attribution required. No license compliance needed. No lawyers necessary.

Formal Dedication

To the extent that any portion of this work is subject to copyright (which we doubt), it is dedicated to the public domain under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0 1.0) Universal Public Domain Dedication.

To the extent that any portion of this work is not subject to copyright (which we suspect is most of it), no dedication is necessary, because there is nothing to dedicate.

Disclaimer

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE VULNERABILITIES IN THIS CODE ARE INTENTIONAL — THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT. DO NOT DEPLOY ANY OF THIS TO PRODUCTION. IF YOU DEPLOY A DELIBERATELY VULNERABLE SQL-INJECTABLE MOCK CORPORATE WEBSITE TO THE PUBLIC INTERNET, THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM AND NOT OURS.

The authors disclaim all liability for any damages arising from the use or misuse of this software, including but not limited to: data breaches caused by running intentionally vulnerable code in production, existential dread caused by watching an AI exploit your code faster than you can read it, and any philosophical crises regarding the nature of authorship in the age of machine intelligence.
