You can have a totally legitimate business making hacksaws and bolt cutters.
Now if your customers use these tools to break into homes and steal things, then yes, that’s illegal.
But making the hacksaws and bolt cutters is not.
- nathanaldensr 4y agoHow is me building a novel application consisting of manually linked libraries and source code any different than building a novel application out of what Copilot generates? The difference is that Microsoft is pretending attribution and source licenses don't apply to the code it generates, even though it would in any other context.
- klyrs 4y agoThe difference is that you could be unwittingly taking on liability in the copilot case. So that's fun. But also in the copilot case, microsoft distributed the code to you without a license, in violation of the license.
