Did they fixed the licensing dangers?
- xaedes 4y agoAs they don't mention it I doubt it. Tabnine, a similar competitor, explicitly mentions this on their website: " Tabnine only uses open-source code with permissive licenses for our Public Code trained AI model (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause). " Other commenters here say the completion quality is worse than Copilot. I use Tabnine for local short completions only and am quite happy with it. Didn't try Copilot yet.
- CryZe 4y agoYou apparently can "opt out of public code" now. I didn't find an explanation for whether that properly limits it to permissive licenses though. Update: It seems like they check whether the code it emits matches the training set and if it does it won't suggest it.
- BrandonJung 4y agoNo they did not. You have to train on only fully permissive code to ensure that is not a problem
