FSF-calls for white papers on philosophical and legal questions around Copilot
The ignorance in this comment section is already giving me an aneurysm. Software licenses matter. Copyright matters. If megacorps like Microsoft can sue people into oblivion for violating their copyright terms, people can sue Microsoft into oblivion for violating theirs. I don't use MS Github, I have no skin in the game, but I hope there is at-least a $1000 award to every instance of AGPL and GPL license violation because it's unfair and illegal what they're doing.<p>This isn't ML, it is a ripoff and is violating clear software licensing terms. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27710287" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27710287</a><p>Software freedom matters, but I wouldn't expect the typical HN type to understand, since their money is made on exploiting freely-available software, putting it into proprietary little SaaS boxes, then re-selling it.
