I don't care about the money. I support this because it will establish case law that other companies can't ignore licenses as long as they throw AI somewhere in the chain.
If "I took your code and trained an AI that then generated your code" is a legal defense, the GPL and similar licenses all become moot.
- bastardoperator 4y agoBut that's not what's happening here. Also, you grant GitHub a license. https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#4-license-grant-to-us https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t... "You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, archive, parse, and display Your Content" Copilot displays content. Case closed.
