- rhn_mk1 5y agoCopyleft exists for a reason.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoTo the extent Copilot is doing something illegal, or making its users inadvertently engage in illegal behavior, it is copyright infringement, as (most) license violations are copyright violations. Copyright cuts both ways. Free Software and Open Software exist in context, and because of, copyright laws. This means that a person or a company using output from Copilot may be engaging in copyright infringement. In other words, Copilot is enabling software piracy. I might be sympathetic to it, and even consider it mostly positive, but then if companies can use my code ignoring the license, I want to be able to Torrent their products in peace too.
