@paysonwallach I agree with the points made but it leaves me at a loss for a solution. I will not use Github & I keep my works outside of Github, but there is nothing to stop MS from harvesting my works from softwareheritage.org and profitting from it. Normally It's sufficient to boycott, so by not using MS products/services I don't help MS profit. But #Copilot sidesteps my boycott.
@paysonwallach Copilot enables an evil corporation to profit from my work. I wonder if a non-free software license might actually become more interesting now: the "No Evil" license, which discards FSF's freedom 0 (the freedom to use as you please). It permits only ethical uses. That kind of license could perhaps block #Copilot.
@paysonwallach I'm not finding the link now, but an #openSource license has been drafted somewhere that bans a number of activities that go against human rights. It could be expanded to ban use by entities that go against human rights.
