EDIT: It took me a while, but I found proof of Copilot suggesting a full copyrighted algorithm. I then take back these arguments as I was under the assumption the tool couldn't do this: https://twitter.com/mitsuhiko/status/1410886329924194309 https://twitter.com/mitsuhiko/status/1410886329924194309 Old comment for documentation's sake: Are licenses even enforceable by law? The idea of writing some mundane basic code and then wanting to sue someone for "stealing it" just sounds ludicrous to me. True copyright has barriers to make sure you actually invented what you're trying to patent. That's not to say that there isn't a problem here -- there's definitely an ethical component to how this product works, but this whole code licensing thing never clicked for me. Does it hold any actual power?
