Don’t be silly, that’s not a hard question to answer. Because github is by far the world’s largest accessible repository of source code. Training on microsoft’s code would be incredibly restrictive and only cover some languages.
Actually sorry, was that a joke? Microsoft’s code for Windows is said to be pretty bad.
- weare138 5y agoNo it's not a joke. Microsoft can license it's own code and pay for the rest if they wanted to. It's not like MS can't afford it. They're flagrantly violating the licenses of countless open-source project for their own gain. It would be one thing if they only used code with permissible licenses like the MIT license but they didn't. You can't just steal other people's work. If you or me did this with Microsoft's proprietary code we would be sued and/or arrested. Why should MS be able to get away with something that's illegal for us plebs?
