If you don't like that,don't release your code as open source. I'm not going to host my open source projects on my own website. That's just hard, it's much more difficult to get people to check it out if it's on Broblog.net
I personally don't believe extremely short code snippets, like the ones copilot tends to copy are problematic.

- 999900000999 5y agoDo you want to write open source software or not? Here. def add( x, y): return x + y I don't want to live in some dystopia where we have dozens of lawyers deciding who owns that above code snippet. If Amazon wants to use that snippet, fine, you can use it, etc. All Co Pilot does is optimize taking code snippets from different sources.
