I know this isn't really related to the whole copying ethics debate, but I definitely feel like there's some sort of foul play happening here. For all of the unlicensed projects out there, the license that is automatically granted to Github includes: > the right to store, archive, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies, as necessary to provide the Service, including improving the Service over time It's insane how vague this is. Is Copilot a "Service"? Sure, by its definition: > The “Service” refers to the applications, software, products, and services provided by GitHub, including any Beta Previews. And since much of the code was published before Copilot's inception, this means Github can just arbitrarily add more "services" and milk the code for whatever it wants. Automatically service-ify any public repository? Sure, pay us for quotas. It's like a legal loophole to let Github just bypass any license restrictions you put on it. |
