>saying it is their responsibility to vet any code they produce
But, if some of the code produced is covered by copyright, isn't Microsoft in trouble for distributing software that distributes copyrighted code without a license? How would it be different from giving out bootlegs DVDs and trying to avoid blame by reminding everyone that the recipients don't own the copyright?
- visarga 5y agothis complicated copyright problem shows we're still using last century concepts on new and emerging technology that surpassed it; it's time to think hard about it because we need neural nets and they need training data

I mean, if MS throws out licensed code from others, as if to say: "Ahh, software licensing, such an outdated concept ..." but then keeps its own code out of that loop. "Yeah, but that's our own code, no one is allowed to copy that!"
