Great feedback.
I'm not the author of this project, but in my understanding, it's the same as if you were to write the code yourself. The project doesn't publish anything and it works entirely locally aside from LLM calls (which could in the future be 100% local as well). So you remain the author and have complete control over the license of the generated code.
- jamil7 3y ago> and it works entirely locally aside from LLM calls So not entirely locally. Yes these could eventually also run locally but OP’s point still stands.
- _odey 3y agoThis is great to hear but I don't fully know how far reaching are openai's claws (since it does require an openai api key). If it runs 100% locally then yes, it would be safe to use.
- transitivebs 3y agototally agreed that diff projects need to be careful w/ sharing proprietary code w/ third parties. openai's official stance is that it will never use API calls as training data, and that in my understanding it may retain API call data for up to 30 days for compliance purposes, but that it legally won't store it beyond that (whereas chatgpt convos are meant to be stored and used for training purposes). as a next step, they could provide a swappable version of the LLM provider using something like https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT, https://github.com/alexanderatallah/window.ai https://github.com/alexanderatallah/window.ai, etc. would love to have a standard develop here as the community matures around LLM usage
- Towaway69 3y agoHow does running it locally make a difference to copyright? If I run an OCR software 100% locally, do I get the copyright on the scanned result of Harry Potter? Don't understand: using a giant LLM locally negates all the copyrights contained in the LLM? In which country is that a law?
- largbae 3y agoI think GP means that at least you aren't dealing with a SaaS middleman that _also_ may intercept your code or claim authorship of the conversion.
- 6510 3y agoYou mean ownership nor license changes.
- nbrycnb 3y agoNo, you don't "remain the author". You have never been the author if you translate the real author's code base. The license is the one of the original, since this is unambiguously a derivative work.
- rezonant 3y agoRecommended edit: IANAL I find this reasoning a bit flimsy. Copyright doesn't have anything to do with publishing, and is it really that clear that you are the sole author of the derived work?
