My code is shared under a license (MIT) that mandates attribution.
That’s all I ask — if you use my code, give me credit.
Stealing my code to train your bot — which will replicate portions verbatim! — is no different whatsoever than the casual plagiarist that copies and pastes a novel snippet manually.
Its absolutely my legal and ethical prerogative to complain about people stealing my code by failing to respect the license under which it was freely provided.

- seba_dos1 4y agoIf it's unlicensed, then you can't use it at all, so giving attribution wouldn't change much in that case.
- tiborsaas 4y agoIs is really stealing when your code is used to change a parameter value from 0.3623727247 to 0.3623727321?
- iamevn 4y agoIt does not matter what the internal representation is. What matters is that Microsoft is selling a tool which reproduces non-public domain works while claiming to grant the user ownership of the output.
