I’m not sure technically how difficult it is for copilot to give an attribution when needed.
But as a temporary legal fix, couldn’t they put all the attributions in one large file and after each output of copilot write: “results based on the work of these people [link to attributions.txt].“
would that still be problematic?
- beervirus 5y agoDoesn’t do anything about the viral nature of the GPL.
- lolinder 5y agoIn fact, it would probably hurt their "fair use" argument to make a token effort to comply with more permissive licenses while failing to comply with the GPL. They're better off continuing to argue fair use.
- jarofgreen 5y agoThat assumes attribution is the only issue here. It's not. Code under open source licenses comes with other conditions (warranty disclaimers, release under open source license, etc).
- agnosticmantis 5y agoThanks, that’s a good point I didn’t consider.
