Do you guys see this? #Github #copilot is stealing #GPL code while being proprietary. This is the extinguish phase. PLEASE move to #GitLab or @codeberg quick! #githubismicrosoft #githubcopilot #codeberg #LGPL #AGPL #gplv3 #agplv3 #lgplv3

I don't understand how they aren't respecting licenses when mining this code. Seems like a nightmare for the MS legal department if true.

@tilduke It is not against the GPL technically, not even the AGPL. But it doesn't sit well... this thing harvests people's unpaid work and could possibly write its own programs in the future.

It is if the destination source is licensed differently though no? Although in such small snippets its going to be hard to show any direct derivation.
