- jakear 4y agoThat just further supports the claim that copilot is in the clear - it is clearly a separate work with many underlying works. Of course the code copilot generates may violate GPL, but that’s up to the tool’s wielder to determine. Just as it is when searching for code on the internet, consulting books, recalling past knowledge, etc. I don’t even use copilot (I had early access and discovered programming languages are better for unambiguous encoding logic than English, go figure). I’m just sick of all these supposed craftsmen blaming their tools rather than holding themselves accountable for what they commit.
- blihp 4y agoCopyright law doesn't work that way. I'd bet this is going to be litigated to a final decision before anyone can say with certainty if/when a NN is violating copyright (i.e. via the training data) or not.
