(Maybe best for an official answer to be in Discourse I guess)
We don’t have any plans to move away from GitHub
That’s reassuring. Hopefully you won’t get too much pressure. Though probably there would be a lot of resistance from most SFC members
> GitHub’s decision to release a for-profit product derived from FOSS code, the SFC said, is “too much to bear.” I’m confused. They do something completely within the permissions (and, I’d argue, largely within the spirit) of the licenses, and that’s a problem? :confused:
They do? I thought it’s also trained on GPL code, and you can’t use any code derived from that commercially
Also, I thought several licenses require attribution. Copilot wouldn’t give you that.
Hmm, that is a point I hadn’t remembered.
Whether copilot is violating the copyright of people who posted code on GitHub, and whether the results are derived work, is a question that there are lots of opinions about
Also whether it’s fair to build a paid product on the results of training on free software, which is a separate question
