Yes, thank you this is exactly what I was looking out for in the announcement.

Was looking for a way to instruct CodePilot to abide by the following rules:

- Only use Apache v2, MIT or BSD licensed work for its recommendations. (Or a specific license set)

- Only use code trained on public repositories.

- Provide code attributions of the source code where the recommendations originate from.

I'm not sure if the last point is possible given these GPT type architectures but it would really help during code reviews.

Even if you use code under these license, you are still supposed to credit the authors by reproducing the license. So you need to know where it came from. Do you credit all the software the model was trained on?

> Do you credit all the software the model was trained on.

That's a brilliant idea everyone can just copy and past the exact same attribution file and be done with it.

"Just" copy paste a multi GB file with endless lines of authors? Brilliant? I might be missing something here.
We're not using any ML based machine generated source code.

The remaining use of OSS code has attributions.
