It is only an issue if the code is taken and submitted as is. But we can
handle this issue because the code will be shit. We just need to be able
to be firm against people who submit shitty code.

On the other hand, if they use a LLM to prototype the use of an API they
rarely use and whose documentation sucks (Android I am looking at you)
and once it work they rewrite the code properly, then there is no
copyright liability.
