Training CoPilot on code doesn’t violate any software licenses.
- tyingq 4y ago>Training CoPilot on code doesn’t violate any software licenses. Even if it regurgitates large unchanged passages of code, with the advertised selling point of using anything it produces in an unrestricted fashion?
- synu 4y agoI think they are saying the training part itself doesn’t. It seems to be kind of a fine point, otherwise you could implement a license laundering AI by training it on a single codebase and asking it questions about it. If you end up with a byte by byte replica sans a LICENSE file presumably you wouldn’t get away with actually _using_ the model to clone licensed software even if training it was technically ok.
