If you’re going to go all the way, make it public domain.

AIUI there's no "public domain license". Permissive licenses like MIT are as close as it gets.

And the disclaimer of liability is kind of important.

"Zero-Clause BSD" is a bit closer to public domain than MIT if you want that. It's essentially only the disclaimer of liability. It omits the requirement to include any notices with the software.

I like 0BSD, except the name.

The proliferation of BSD licenses dilutes the meaning of "bsd license". There's only one MIT license, so there's no confusion.

Isn't AI output already public domain?

AFAIK the Supreme Court hasn’t ruled on it, and lower decisions haven’t only been made on contentment that’s solely ai generated.

If I can copyright the outputs of a code generator when I feed it my own inputs, then believe there is a similar line for LLM output.
