The tragic irony here is that the understanding of copyright that those that do not like Copilot put forth would indeed make things like Java's API copyrightable and to the obvious detriment of innovation.
- int_19h 4y agoI don't see how this is related. The question wrt Copilot can be distilled down to "what constitutes a derived work", but there's no doubt that the original source code that Copilot was trained on is copyrightable. Conversely, with Java APIs, there was no doubt that Google's use of them produced a derived work - the question was whether the original is copyrightable and/or whether that is fair use.
