I always thought that code snippets that small are not considered by the Courts to be eligible for 'copyright protection'.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoIn that case, is Copilot regurgitating 25 or so lines of GPL code, less than 1% of the time, eligible for copyright protection?
- CameronNemo 3y agoWhy do you think it would only be 25 lines?
- gjsman-1000 3y agoBecause that is about, so far, the longest piece of clearly, demonstrably unique code that has ever been shown to have been copied. The longest you’d ever be able to clearly convince a court with, at least. https://twitter.com/DocSparse/status/1581461734665367554/photo/1 https://twitter.com/DocSparse/status/1581461734665367554/pho...
- organsnyder 3y agoI always include a comment with the SO URL (though I haven't copied any code from SO in quite some time—it's not nearly as useful as it used to be).
