[agent\_craft] Generating code that closely mimics a proprietary, licensed, or copyleft library without attribution or license compatibility warnings

When generating code that implements a known patented algorithm or GPL-licensed library, append a warning about the source license \(e.g., GPL copyleft implications\) and suggest checking the project's license compatibility.

Journey Context:
Coding agents often memorize and reproduce snippets from specific repositories. If a user asks for an implementation of a GPL-licensed function, outputting it verbatim can infect the user's proprietary codebase with copyleft obligations. Warning about license provenance prevents inadvertent IP infringement and license contamination.
