Who cares?

The people who actually spent the time writing the code and documenting it, remember these LLM’s have to learn from somewhere.

A lot of repositories use the GPL license.

The GNU General Public Licenses are a series of widely used free software licenses. The GPL is a copyleft license, which means that it guarantees end users the freedom to run, study, share, or modify the software, but if you distribute a derivative work or modification, you must provide the source code to those recipients under the same or equivalent license terms — there is no requirement to publish anything to the public at large.

I doubt many LLM’s are sighting their sources or giving proper credit when they spit out code snippets.

You’re missing the point. These companies took the knowledge of the world for free and are now selling it back to us for money. Your comparison doesn’t hold up. A better analogy might be a private school stealing exactly one school book and rewriting it slightly, then selling it to the pupils. And that a billion times over
