No, because judges aren't robots applying the law like code. Intent matters. If you do this it will be painfully obvious that your intent is to duplicate a large body copywritten code.
- yellowapple 2y agoIt's painfully obvious that the intent of GitHub Copilot is to duplicate a large body of copyrighted code.
- tpmoney 2y agoIt doesn't appear to be painfully obvious. Both because they're not losing court cases yet, and there's a huge swath of non copyrighted code being produced by co-pilot every day. By contrast the plaintiffs apparently were unable to induce Copilot to duplicate any parts of their code.
- Bognar 2y agoOh so that's why Copilot has a filter to prevent suggesting copyrighted code, because the intent is to duplicate copyrighted code. It all makes sense now.
