I don't think that this is relevant to QtCreator because QtCreator has no
"output" per se,
 it only calls your compiler (which may be g++, clang, msvc...) behind the
scenes.
And saving a text file can even less be considered an output I think,
imagine if the people making sheets of paper were able to assert their
copyright over
whatever you write on it ?

But IANAL :)
