Feel free, they'll tell you to leave them alone. Then what? Might as well ask every fortune 500 company for a pony instead.
- blibble 4y agopersonally I think they'll ruling will result in one of two possible outcomes 1. LLMs are learning like a human, so it's fair use -> GPL dead 2. anything LLMs output are a derivative work (in the copyright sense) of what went into it -> all Copilot output is infringing the GPL in the second case: anyone that's used it is now liable (even if they didn't intend to be)
