Try doing any type of deal (fundraising, M&A) where you can't point to the provenance of your application's code. This isn't good for programmers, programmers WANT clean and knowable copyrights. This is good for lawyers, who'll now have another way to extract thousands of $$ from companies to launder their code.
- Houshalter 5y agoIf you do get sued, the Copilot page is written in a way that would make Github legally responsible for it, not you. "Just like with a compiler, the output of your use of GitHub Copilot belongs to you."
- BlueTemplar 5y agoYeah, right... This isn't going to fly in court any more than if the Pirate Bay page was written in a way that says that it's solely responsible for what you do with the magnet links that they share.
- Houshalter 5y agoThe pirate bay is very clear to not claim any responsibility for what people post on their site. That's how they get away with it.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoI know, it's an hypothetical.
