@ChrisMayLA6 Interestingly a duo of authors, both with the same family name, #Rothchild, claim that #copilot is fairuse: https://www.fsf.org/licensing/copilot/copyright-implications-of-the-use-of-code-repositories-to-train-a-machine-learning-model
I'm fascinated, by the lengths they go to to absolve #microsoft, like this beauty, "detecting (verbatim) copying from such a vast training set is algorithmically quite difficult".
Poor microsoft, they can build a #LLM to give plausible deniability to software thieves but doing some verbatim searches is just too much for the poor darling.
