Another comment said "don't open source your code", which I would agree with. If you don't want people reusing your code, just don't open source it. What's the point otherwise?
- snvzz 5y agoIt's not black and white. Letting people see the code doesn't mean they can ignore the license and do whatever the hell they want with it. I am quite reasonable. I favor the MIT license. I still do not want my code in Copilot, which pretty much dismisses my rights entirely.
- baby 5y agoI’m not sure I understand that point of view though. Copilot just suggests relatively short snippets, it’s not copying large chunks of your library or products. If you truly have an innovative algorithm and you don’t want people to use it like that, you’ll have to go the patent route
- snvzz 5y agoLetting me (and everybody else who doesn't want to be part of copilot) opt out is not, by any stretch, unreasonable. It is basic human decency, and copilot would still be possible even if some of us opted our projects out.
