> I don't think training on copyrighted code violates copyright It might not be illegal, but for a lot of us it feels unethical. IMO licenses should list what they allow versus what they forbid. In other words, if something isn’t explicitly allowed it should be assumed to be forbidden. We need similar protections for personal data too. Tech companies have gotten too used to ingesting data and profiting from it without asking for consent. I’m willing to bet that had GitHub asked repo owners whether GH could use their work to train a new product, most would have said no, much like what happened when Apple asked iOS users if they were ok with Facebook tracking them.
