That’s an understatement. There is a deep lack of understanding of IP issues as demonstrated by their public representatives. Surprising for a company like GitHub where software IP should be a part of their core competency. They have made defenses like “it’s public data” which means nearly nothing in regard to copyright enforcement. The Avengers is public “data” (it’s not data in terms of the law), that doesn’t mean you can use the content for whatever you want. It shows a total lack of respect for the work that the FOSS community does and their rights. This has irreparably changed my perception of GitHub forever in a strongly negative way.

Seems like he agrees that __reproducing__ copyrighted code is not permissible. Also seems likely to me that Nat etc were probably misled / incurious (no excuse) about precisely what CoPilot would do in practice.
