Ding ding ding. This is the exact issue that a vocal minority are whingeing over github copilot for. It's automatically pasting results from websites without embedding the necessary attribution - so if you copy entire functions from this search engine (which may be coming from stack overflow for which attribution is required), then you're guilty of the same thing.
So I only see one of two outcomes:
1. Courts rule copilot is fair use in which case your search engine becomes largely superfluous
2. Courts rule copilot is infringement in which case all of these types of applications cannot be used commercially
- danuker 4y agoThere are two separate issues: 1. Copilot itself infringing licenses (MS copying and sharing copyrighted code) 2. Developer infringing licenses (Allowing code from MS into own codebase). Case 2 is avoided by Hello, because it provides a link to the original, allowing the developer to find and respect the license. Therefore Hello is net superior (with respect to people using the service at least).
