From the Copilot FAQ: > Who owns the code GitHub Copilot helps me write? > GitHub Copilot is a tool, like a compiler or a pen. The suggestions GitHub Copilot generates, and the code you write with its help, belong to you, and you are responsible for it. We recommend that you carefully test, review, and vet the code, as you would with any code you write yourself. > Do I need to credit GitHub Copilot for helping me write code? > No, the code you create with GitHub Copilot’s help belongs to you. While every friendly robot likes the occasional word of thanks, you are in no way obligated to credit GitHub Copilot. Just like with a compiler, the output of your use of GitHub Copilot belongs to you. While you may be right, that contradicts what Microsoft has to say.
