oh my gods. they literally have no shame about this. GitHub Support just straight up confirmed in an email that yes, they used all public GitHub code, for Codex/Copilot regardless of license.pic.twitter.com/pFTqbvnTEK

the takeaway here is that GitHub, and by extension
@Microsoft, knows that copyright is essentially worthless for individuals and small community projects. THAT is why they're all buddy-buddy with free software types; they never intended to respect our rights in the first place.Diesen Thread anzeigen

I mean, isn't that part of what happens when you have a public repo? The license is ignored unless it's enforced? I'm not sure where the surprise is coming from, honestly. Isn't this what everyone expected when MS bought GitHub and why there was a mass exodus?

It's only illegal if they get caught?

I do not understand how parsing public code violates any license. That would mean if I check out a public repository and create statistics about the frequency of words I need a license. I doubt that. They do not run, modify or distribute the code in the repo. What am I missing?
-
But they do distribute it, as shown by
@mitsuhiko. It's pretty easy to get it to regurgitate GPL code verbatim. - Antworten anzeigen

I have long said that the best way to understand copyright licensing is via lawsuit threats. MIT/BSD: “this is our code, we hold the copyright, we promise not to sue you if you use it for whatever, but you are not allowed to sue us for anything either.”
-
GPL: “we might sue you if you pretend you have the right to sue others over our code or anything you build from it, we will sue to create a world with no more IP lawsuits.”

Please don't. We all profit from a situation where having three lines of code identical to three lines somewhere else does not result in lawsuits and pitas

If you put your code in a public repo on any git solution, it will be available for PUBLIC USE! If you don’t want that make your repo private, they gave you the option but you did not choose it yet you don’t want your code “copied”? plz stop
-
You can make code public so others can verify the code without them being allowed to use the code themselves.
