I think that in the FOSS environmment, it is assumed that when you submit something upstream, that you are the copyright holder. Some projects like GNU require you to sign papers legally attesting this.

It would be a lie to sign those papers for something you vibe coded.

It's not just courtesy; you are committing fraud if you put your copyright notice on something you didn't create and publishing that to the world.

I don't just want that disclosed; I cannot merge it if it is disclosed, period.

I know that purely AI-generated content is copyright-free, but I don't think that AI-assisted is also copyright free.

If I use iOS's spellchecker which "learns" from one's habit (i.e.: AI, the really polished kind), I don't lose copyright over the text which I've written.
