- nailer 4y agoGitHub copilot is trained on Open Source code bases, and regenerates OSS code in your proprietary apps, potentially breaking the licensing of the OSS code or your proprietary app.
- ShamelessC 4y agoA vocal minority of e.g. GPL proponents is just like, really really mad about it. They tend to claim they are worried about open source. Really they are worried about a smaller sub-culture of open source who doesn’t want their code used for profit without being paid.
- AlexandrB 4y agoWhat about the sub-culture of open source who doesn't want their code used for profit without the result also being open sourced? To put it another way, why should we have to treat Microsoft's EULA and licenses as ironclad while Microsoft gets to ignore licensing terms of code they want to use for their own products? Seems like an imbalance that's only possible because one side is more well-funded than the other.
