GitHub/Microsoft says that it's still your responsibility.
>You should take the same precautions as you would with any code you write that uses material you did not independently originate. These include rigorous testing, IP scanning, and checking for security vulnerabilities. You should make sure your IDE or editor does not automatically compile or run generated code before you review it.
I'm not really sure how am I supposed to go about validating that I can in fact use this code that the magical black box barfed into my IDE using a bunch of different weights.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> GitHub/Microsoft says that it's still your responsibility If Copilot is fair use, and has no restrictive license, than how is it anyone's responsibility? If Copilot isn't fair use, it's Microsoft's responsibility. (For copyright; for patent that's another issue, but you can violate patents by similarity without exposure or copying, anyway.)
- Hamuko 4y agoTraining Copilot is fair use, using Copilot is ???.
- lowercased 4y agoLet MS buy BlackDuck scanner and integrate in to GitHub/CoPilot. They could then suggest code and also scan it for any license violations, and give you both sides of the equation in the same tool.
- nnoitra 4y agoJust what a horrible shady behavior. Give us your money but you are responsible for the code that OUR tool generates.
