How is self-hosting protecting from Copilot infringing on your license? One can imagine Copilot fetching your self-hosted repo and adding it to its database, or someone forking your self-hosted repo, hosting it on github which will still be used by Copilot. The issue of respecting the license of Open Source code by these "AIs" it orthogonal to where the source is being hosted.
I have no problem with Copilot and other "AIs" using my source code, as long as they respect the license. If copilot spits out (even partially) my GPL code it is still GPL. Other than that - it's free and open for corporate and personal use.
- cheriot 4y agoWhen training the natural language model, I don't think it's possible to trace back from an output to which training data it comes from. So it will never spit out something and say it's GPL licensed. Similarly, trying to prove a GPL violation because the model's output is based on any particular input seems impossible.
- globalreset 4y agoHow very convenient. So many billions of things that "AI" can remember and infer, and yet it can't remember that one important 3-letter metadata. Reminds of these politicians that when questions in the court answer "I can't remember" for everything.
