for those of you wondering why a litigiously rigorous company like Microsoft is pushing Copilot despite overwhelming evidence of copyright infringement, its not a technical limitation they seek to challenge but the legal limitation of the GPL and open source code in general. What they could not destroy through market dominance, they will use their 143 billion in revenue to simply render moot. Microsoft has the coffers and attorneys to litigate this all the way to the supreme court, and I surmise thats just what they intend to do. a win for Github AI would be a damning indictment against the protection offered by open source licensing. cloud is Microsofts golden calf in 2021 and ensuring it grazes rent-free on your projects..your code...has become a priority.
