GitHub Copilot is ‘unacceptable and unjust,’ says Free Software Foundation
I think MS knows damn well that they&#x27;ve forfeited the ethics of their code generation. There&#x27;s a reason they&#x27;ve trained the model on Github repositories instead of, say, the Windows kernel driver tree. They know their model arbitrary copy&#x2F;pastes other people&#x27;s code so they train it almost exclusively on other people&#x27;s code that they don&#x27;t care for it it gets stolen. Their assumption seems to be &quot;if Bing can find it, it&#x27;s up for grabs, no matter the license&quot;. Good luck getting the same treatment from MS if you upload the leaked XP kernel to github to make your own fork.<p>I&#x27;ll accept the ethics of copilot when they add the source code for Windows, Azure and Office to their training set, because only then will MS truly reflect that their model doesn&#x27;t cross the spirit or even letter of any licensing.
