If you your going to make these kinds of accusations (the kind that if proved true would lead to multi-million dollar lawsuits), you should at least try to provide sources.
- treprinum 3y agoOne example: https://devclass.com/2022/10/17/github-copilot-under-fire-as-dev-claims-it-emits-large-chunks-of-my-copyrighted-code/ https://devclass.com/2022/10/17/github-copilot-under-fire-as... Also there are multiple lawsuits already as you've probably noticed.
- shkkmo 3y agoThat is an examples of GitHub allegedly violating the license of public repositories. The claim that was made was that GitHub trained using private repositories and I have yet to see any evidence.
- treprinum 3y agoThe caveat you missed in that case was that the person unchecked the checkbox that would allow GitHub to use files in his repository for training.
- shkkmo 3y agoThat caveat is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with a private repository. When code is public, especially with a GPL license, it can end up in multiple repositories which may not all de-check the share check.
- treprinum 3y agoWhy don't you just look it up? It was on HN front page some time ago.
- shkkmo 3y agoI tried, all I could find was one other HN comment asking about it. Admittedly I could have tried harder but it really isn't my assertion to defend. I think there might be some confusion here between private repositories and public repositories with restrictive licenses. There is evidence of the latter but not the former.
